CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability allows the login interface to reveal valid usernames when Multi-Attribute Login is enabled, while non-existent usernames are echoed back without masking. This inconsistency can lead to increased risks of brute force attacks and social engineering, as attackers can identify valid accounts and tailor their phishing efforts accordingly. Organizations utilizing this login feature should prioritize remediation to mitigate the potential for targeted attacks and data breaches.
Original NVD Description
When Multi-Attribute Login is enabled, the login interface fails to consistently mask the existence of user accounts. For valid users, the server resolves and displays their canonical username, while for non-existent users, it echoes the original input. This occurs regardless of the validate_username configuration. The discovery of valid usernames can increase the risk of brute force attacks, social engineering attacks, and targeted information leakage. Attackers can leverage this information to craft more effective phishing campaigns or social engineering tactics to compromise user accounts or extract sensitive data.
