Username enumeration via distinct login responses
Published Dec 30, 2025 · Updated Dec 30, 2025
User enumeration in New H3C Technologies H3C SSL VPN 1.1 allows remote attackers to identify valid accounts through the login form. The /svpn/vpnuser/login_submit.cgi handler accepts an attacker-controlled txtUsrName value and returns distinct messages for nonexistent, valid, and inactive users. Unauthenticated network access to the SSL VPN login endpoint is sufficient, and the disclosed result is limited to account validity.
