Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The vulnerability stems from improper hostname verification in Ldaptive's SSL handling. The DefaultHostnameVerifier.verify method was identified as vulnerable through advisory references to vt-ldap/ldaptive patches (r3046) that fixed CN validation. This function directly handles certificate validation and would appear in stack traces during LDAPS connections. The high confidence comes from direct correlation between CVE description, patch commit messages, and standard SSL verification patterns in Java.
