The login module in Sun Java System Access Manager 6 2005Q1 (aka 6.3), 7 2005Q4 (aka 7.0), and 7.1 responds differently to a failed login attempt depending on whether the user account exists, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2009-0348 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2009-0348. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
