⚠️ LDAP injection is lurking here! A crafty attacker can exploit the `server_id` parameter in a login request, making it easier for them to slip in unnoticed. 🔍 Think of it like a sneaky guest who checks into a hotel using a fake name, then starts rummaging through guests' belongings — that's how LDAP injection can compromise sensitive data if not caught! 🏨 An attacker could potentially manipulate the LDAP queries and gain unauthorized access to user information, which could lead to data breaches or identity theft. It’s like letting someone backstage at a concert, who then has access to the entire show! 🎤
