Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for 389-ds-base.

CVE-2026-18651[0]:
| A flaw was found in 389 Directory Server. During SASL PLAIN
| authentication, the server installs connection-level bind
| credentials before performing the account-lock check. If the account
| is subsequently found to be locked, the bind is reported as failed
| to the client, but the already-installed authenticated state on the
| connection is not reverted. A client that supplies valid credentials
| for an account that has been administratively locked can continue to
| use the same connection with that account's privileges, defeating
| account lock as an access-revocation control.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
