An oracle vulnerability is a type of information disclosure bug which
does not directly expose information but can be used to confirm guesses.
In this case, the bug allows you to confirm the existence of an account
by attempting to log into it with a random password.  It does not
actually give you a list of existing accounts, as “account enumeration”
would suggest.
