CVE Published:

Summary

In older versions of WordPress and WordPress MU, a design flaw allows remote attackers to determine valid usernames by observing the differing responses to failed login attempts for existing and non-existing accounts. This behavior, allegedly present for user convenience, poses a risk of exposing valid usernames to malicious entities, enabling potential targeted attacks. Website administrators should consider upgrading to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability.
