Microsoft IIS User Enumeration Vulnerability
Microsoft IIS is prone to an issue where the existence of users may be revealed to remote attackers. The vulnerability exists when users attempt to authenticate against a vulnerable system. IIS will generate an error page if authentication fails. Different messages are generated depending on whether the user exists or not.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the error messages generated by IIS are not revealing any sensitive information about the existence of users.
