info:
name: WordPress REST API User Enumeration
author: Manas_Harsh,daffainfo,geeknik,dr0pd34d
severity: low
description: |
The REST API exposed user data for all users who had authored a post of a public post type. WordPress 4.7.1 limits this to only post types which have specified that they should be shown within the REST API.
impact: |
An attacker can easily determine valid usernames, which can lead to targeted attacks such as brute force attacks or social engineering.
remediation: |
Install a WordPress plugin such as Stop User Enumeration. Stop User Enumeration is a security plugin designed to detect and prevent hackers scanning your site for user names.
