Same problem fetching the thumbnailPhoto
attribute from Active Directory. It would be nice to be able to get the raw value.

add ;binary to the key in question so for thumbnailPhoto
try fetching for: thumbnailPhoto;binary should give you the binary response
https://github.com/ldapts/ldapts/issues/11
As of v2.6.0, you can now explicitly specify which attributes should return as Buffer. I hope that helps with some issues getting binary values.
const searchResult = await client.search('ou=Users,o=5be4c382c583e54de6a3ff52,dc=jumpcloud,dc=com', {
filter: '(mail=peter.parker@marvel.com)',
explicitBufferAttributes: ['thumbnailPhoto'],
});
Tried accessing a Samba-based PDC via LDAP including its objectSid attribute which comes binary-encoded. Just like with ldapjs I was realizing that binary content exposed this way gets corrupted due to assuming UTF-8 encoding when converting attribute values from Buffer to string, even though the resulting string is full of Unicode escape sequences, afterwards. In my case a 25-bytes buffer value becomes a 24 characters string of unicode escapes.
In ldapjs there is an opportunity to get the raw set of buffers instead of transcoded strings per search result entry.
