Username enumeration via distinct login errors
Published Feb 25, 2026 · Updated Feb 25, 2026
Observable response discrepancy in affected Rucio WebUI releases allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames through the login endpoint. The /ui/login handler returns an account-association error for an unknown identity but a different authentication error for a valid identity with a wrong password. No authentication or user interaction is required; response comparison discloses account existence and supports targeted password guessing or credential stuffing.
