CVE-2025-41252 is a remote, unauthenticated username enumeration vulnerability in VMware NSX and NSX-T. The flaw resides in NSX authentication handling on management interfaces, including web and API login paths, where observable differences in responses for valid versus invalid usernames can disclose whether an account exists. Reported discrepancies may include differing error behavior, status handling, or timing, allowing an attacker to automate probes against candidate usernames. Affected products include VMware NSX 9.x.x.x, 4.2.x, 4.1.x, and 4.0.x; NSX-T 3.x; and VMware Cloud Foundation deployments that include affected NSX components. The vulnerability is an information disclosure issue that supports reconnaissance against identity surfaces and can be used to prepare follow-on credential attacks.
