Unauthenticated user enumeration via recovery responses
Published Aug 3, 2023 · Updated Oct 17, 2024
User enumeration in PHPJabbers Cleaning Business Software 1.0 allows remote attackers to identify valid accounts through password recovery. The Forgot Password workflow returns a distinct message when a submitted email address does not belong to a user instead of issuing a uniform response. No authentication is required; comparing responses discloses registered email addresses that can be targeted for password guessing.
