Detects a Java code shape where an LDAP StartTLS upgrade (extendedOperation(new StartTlsRequest())) is attempted but the failure path re-creates the InitialLdapContext and continues with the plaintext connection instead of aborting. In that shape, bind credentials can be transmitted in cleartext when the TLS upgrade is refused (STARTTLS downgrade). The rule fires only when the catch block of the StartTLS attempt re-initializes the plaintext context (fail-open), and stays silent when the failure path aborts (fail-closed).
