Usermin Username Enumeration Nightmare: CVE-2024-44762 Unleashed!
Usermin 2.100 has a flaw more obvious than a toddler with chocolate on their face. The username enumeration exploit lets you identify existing usernames like a detective on a caffeine high. If you’re running version 2.100 or older, patch up before someone discovers your user list is easier to access than a jar of cookies.
Hot Take:
Webmin’s Usermin is apparently practicing its own version of “Who’s that Pokémon?” with its username enumeration flaw. Instead of guessing Pikachu, hackers are playing “Guess the Username,” and it’s not nearly as cute. But hey, if your password is “password,” maybe you’re the real mystery here!
Key Points:
- Usermin 2.100 allows username enumeration through a password change request.
- This vulnerability affects versions up to 2.100 and was tested on Kali Linux.
- The exploit involves sending requests with guessed usernames and checking the response.
- A specific CVE (CVE-2024-44762) has been assigned to this issue.
- Mitigation involves updating Usermin and securing user credentials.
