Description

The mod_auth_ldap and mod_auth_ldap2 Community Modules through 2020-01-27 for Prosody incompletely verify the XMPP address passed to the is_admin() function. This grants remote entities admin-only functionality if their username matches the username of a local admin.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
