Cisco Enterprise Chat and Email Username Enumeration Vulnerability
A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco ECE could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform a username enumeration attack against an affected device. This vulnerability is due to differences in authentication responses that are sent back from the application as part of an authentication attempt. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending authentication requests to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to confirm existing user accounts, which could be used in further attacks. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Weakness Type

Observable Response Discrepancy

The product provides different responses to incoming requests in a way that reveals internal state information to an unauthorized actor outside of the intended control sphere. This issue frequently occurs during authentication, where a difference in failed-login messages could allow an attacker to determine if the username is valid or not. These exposures can be inadvertent (bug) or intentional (design).
