Exam 312-50v13 Topic 1 Question 593 Discussion

Actual exam question for ECCouncil's 312-50v13 exam
Question #: 593
Topic #: 1
An enterprise collaboration platform used by a pharmaceutical distributor in Boston, Massachusetts relies on a centralized identity store to validate employee credentials. While reviewing the authentication workflow, a security tester notices that user-provided values are directly embedded into backend lookup expressions responsible for locating account records.
When specific logical operators and wildcard characters are introduced into the username field, the application's record-matching behavior changes. Instead of evaluating a single identity entry, the backend process begins matching a broader set of records than intended, altering the outcome of the authentication check.
The issue arises from improper handling of input within directory-based search logic.
From the following options, identify the injection technique illustrated in this scenario.

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

The scenario describes user input being inserted into directory lookup expressions against a centralized identity store, and the use of logical operators and wildcards altering how account records are matched. This behavior is characteristic of LDAP injection, where manipulation of directory search filters affects authentication and identity resolution logic.
