What is CVE-2012-5055?

In VMware SpringSource Spring Security, an authentication bypass vulnerability exists that can be exploited by remote attackers. Due to insufficient password checks for non-existent users, attackers can potentially speed up username enumeration through a series of crafted login requests, revealing valid usernames without adequate security measures in place. This can significantly increase the risk of unauthorized access and exploitation of the affected applications.
