WordPress powers over 40% of the web, making it a lucrative target for attackers. User enumeration in WordPress is a potential vulnerability that attackers can exploit to gain insights into a website’s user accounts.
While it may seem harmless at first glance, it can serve as a precursor to more severe attacks, such as brute-force login attempts.
WordPress may reveal usernames through URLs like /?author=1, REST API endpoints (/wp-json/wp/v2/users), or different login error messages, allowing attackers to identify valid accounts.
