CVE-2024-44762 is an account enumeration vulnerability in Webmin Usermin v2.100. The issue arises because the application returns different error messages for invalid login attempts depending on whether the supplied username corresponds to a valid account. By observing these discrepancies during authentication failures, an attacker can distinguish existing usernames from nonexistent ones. Based on the provided information, the vulnerability is limited to information disclosure through the authentication interface; no specific vulnerable function or code path is identified in the supplied content.

This repository contains a single Python script (CVE-2024-44762.py) that exploits a username enumeration vulnerability in Usermin version 2.100. The script takes a target URL and a wordlist of usernames as input. For each username, it sends a POST request to the /password_change.cgi endpoint, attempting to change the password with a fake old password. By analyzing the error messages in the HTTP response, the script determines whether the username exists on the system. If the error message indicates that the password is incorrect (rather than the username not being found), the username is likely valid. The script is a proof-of-concept for CVE-2024-44762 and is intended for security testing and demonstration purposes. The only fingerprintable endpoint is the /password_change.cgi path on the Usermin web interface.
