EUVDB-ID: #VU14440

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:A/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-15473

CWE-ID: CWE-388 - Error Handling

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to enumerate all accounts on the system.
