Authentication Flaw in Softaculous Webuzo Affects User Security

CVE-2013-6043

What is CVE-2013-6043?

A flaw in the login functionality of the Softaculous Webuzo platform allows attackers to discern the existence of user accounts through inconsistent error messages. When users attempt to log in, the system provides different responses based on whether the username exists, creating an opportunity for unauthorized individuals to enumerate valid usernames. This vulnerability poses a security risk as it may lead to further attacks such as targeted brute-force attacks, ultimately compromising user accounts and sensitive information.
