Title:
Bruteforce username/email enumeration vuln in password reset screen
Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
Triaged
Bug description:
A user enumeration vulnerability means that an attacker can get a list
of legal usernames and/or email addresses from the site. A
"bruteforce" user enumeration vulnerability means that if they have a
list of potential usernames and/or email addresses, they can verify
whether or not each of them is registered with an account in the site.
The Mahara password reset page is vulnerable to this. You can simply
go in to https://mahara.org/forgotpass.php and enter username or email
after username or email, and get a friendly response indicating
whether each one is registered with a user in the site or not.
