Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: Accepting an empty password when a user DN is set allows unauthenticated bind to succeed, bypassing authentication entirely.
Auth Bypass: Cached connections may carry credentials from a previous user, allowing authentication bypass if not forced to reconnect with the current user's credentials.
Information Disclosure: Native LDAP pooling can cache credentials, potentially exposing them or allowing reuse across authentication attempts.
