User enumeration via differing recovery messages
Published Aug 28, 2023 · Updated Oct 2, 2024
User enumeration in PHPJabbers Taxi Booking Script 2.0 allows remote attackers to identify valid users through password recovery. The password-recovery endpoint returns distinguishable messages for registered and unregistered users, exposing an account-validity oracle. No authentication or user interaction is required; disclosed account names can focus later password-guessing attempts, but this flaw does not itself grant access.
