CVSS v3.1 |
| ImpactThe attacker can validate if a user exists by checking the time login returns. This timing difference can be used to enumerate valid usernames, after which an attacker could attempt brute force attacks.
PatchesThis vulnerability has been patched, implementing a timing-safe form login authenticator that ensures consistent response times regardless of whether a user exists or not.
Technical DetailsThe vulnerability was caused by different response times when:
* A valid username was provided (password hashing occurred)
* An invalid username was provided (no password hashing occurred)
The fix introduces a TimingSafeFormLoginAuthenticator that performs a dummy password hash verification even for non-existent users, ensuring consistent timing.
WorkaroundsNo workarounds are available. Users should upgrade to the patched version.

| Saleor is an e-commerce platform. Starting in version 3.21.0 and prior to version 3.21.16, requesting certain fields in the response of `accountRegister` may result in errors that could unintentionally reveal whether a user with the provided email already exists in Saleor. Version 3.21.16 fixes the issue. As a workaround, rate-limit the mutation to reduce the impact. |
| A vulnerability has been identified in Mendix Runtime V10 (All versions < V10.21.0), Mendix Runtime V10.12 (All versions < V10.12.16), Mendix Runtime V10.18 (All versions < V10.18.5), Mendix Runtime V10.6 (All versions < V10.6.22), Mendix Runtime V8 (All versions < V8.18.35), Mendix Runtime V9 (All versions < V9.24.34). Affected applications allow for entity enumeration due to distinguishable responses in certain client actions. This could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to list all valid entities and attribute names of a Mendix Runtime-based application. |
| A vulnerability in the login functionality of the web application of ctrlX OS allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to guess valid usernames via multiple crafted HTTP requests. |
| Fastapi OPA is an opensource fastapi middleware which includes auth flow. HTTP `OPTIONS` requests are always allowed by `OpaMiddleware`, even when they lack authentication, and are passed through directly to the application. `OpaMiddleware` allows all HTTP `OPTIONS` requests without evaluating it against any policy. If an application provides different responses to HTTP `OPTIONS` requests based on an entity existing (such as to indicate whether an entity is writable on a system level), an unauthenticated attacker could discover which entities exist within an application. This issue has been addressed in release version 2.0.1. All users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. |
| A vulnerability has been identified in Mendix Runtime V10 (All versions < V10.17.0 only if the basic authentication mechanism is used by the application), Mendix Runtime V10.12 (All versions < V10.12.11 only if the basic authentication mechanism is used by the application), Mendix Runtime V10.6 (All versions < V10.6.19 only if the basic authentication mechanism is used by the application), Mendix Runtime V8 (All versions < V8.18.33 only if the basic authentication mechanism is used by the application), Mendix Runtime V9 (All versions < V9.24.31 only if the basic authentication mechanism is used by the application). The authentication mechanism of affected applications contains an observable response discrepancy vulnerability when validating usernames. This could allow unauthenticated remote attackers to distinguish between valid and invalid usernames. |
| Cosmos provides users the ability self-host a home server by acting as a secure gateway to your application, as well as a server manager. By monitoring the error code returned in the login, it is possible to figure out whether a user exist or not in the database. Patched in 0.17.7. |
| web-auth/webauthn-lib is an open source set of PHP libraries and a Symfony bundle to allow developers to integrate that authentication mechanism into their web applications. The ProfileBasedRequestOptionsBuilder method returns allowedCredentials without any credentials if no username was found. When WebAuthn is used as the first or only authentication method, an attacker can enumerate usernames based on the absence of the `allowedCredentials` property in the assertion options response. This allows enumeration of valid or invalid usernames. By knowing which usernames are valid, attackers can focus their efforts on a smaller set of potential targets, increasing the efficiency and likelihood of successful attacks. This issue has been addressed in version 4.9.0 and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. |
| User enumeration in the password reset module of the MeetMe authentication service in versions prior to 2024-09 allows an attacker to determine whether an email address is registered through specific error messages. |
| User names used to access the web management interface are limited to
the device identifier, which is a numerical identifier no more than 10
digits. A malicious actor can enumerate potential targets by
incrementing or decrementing from known identifiers or through
enumerating random digit sequences. |
| Failed login response could be different depending on whether the username was local or central. |
| Omnissa Workspace ONE UEM contains an observable response discrepancy vulnerability. A malicious actor may be able to enumerate sensitive information such as tenant ID and user accounts that could facilitate brute-force, password-spraying or credential-stuffing attacks. |
| Variable response times in the AWS Sign-in IAM user login flow allowed for the use of brute force enumeration techniques to identify valid IAM usernames in an arbitrary AWS account. |
| A vulnerability in SAP Financial Service Claims Management RFC function ICL_USER_GET_NAME_AND_ADDRESS allows user enumeration and potential disclosure of personal data through response discrepancies, causing low impact on confidentiality with no impact on integrity or availability. |
| An observable response discrepancy vulnerability in the SonicWall SMA1000 series appliances allows a remote attacker to enumerate SSL VPN user credentials. |
| MinIO is a high-performance object storage system. Prior to RELEASE.2026-03-17T21-25-16Z, MinIO AIStor's STS (Security Token Service) AssumeRoleWithLDAPIdentity endpoint is vulnerable to LDAP credential brute-forcing due to two combined weaknesses: (1) distinguishable error responses that enable username enumeration, and (2) absence of rate limiting on authentication attempts. An unauthenticated network attacker can enumerate valid LDAP usernames and then perform unlimited password guessing to obtain temporary AWS-style STS credentials, gaining access to the victim's S3 buckets and objects. This issue has been patched in RELEASE.2026-03-17T21-25-16Z. |
| Saleor is an e-commerce platform. From 2.10.0 to before 3.23.0a3, 3.22.47, 3.21.54, and 3.20.118, the requestEmailChange() mutation was revealing the existence of user-provided email addresses in error messages. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.23.0a3, 3.22.47, 3.21.54, and 3.20.118. |
| The login mechanism of Sage DPW 2025_06_004 displays distinct responses for valid and invalid usernames, allowing enumeration of existing accounts in versions before 2021_06_000. On-premise administrators can toggle this behaviour in newer versions. |
| User enumeration in ESET Protect (on-prem) via Response Timing. |
| Raytha CMS is vulnerable to User Enumeration in password reset functionality. Difference in messages could allow an attacker to determine if the login is valid or not, enabling a brute force attack with valid logins.
This issue was fixed in version 1.5.0. |
