issue with username enumeration
-
hi. i use this fine tool the harden my wordpress and f.ex. disable username enumeration. if i try to log in with wrong user credentials, then i don’t get a reply like: “username does not exist”, or “wrong password” (which in return can spill the username) but a generic error: “ERROR: Invalid login credentials.” now when i go to my “/account/lost-password/” page and i type in a wrong username / email, this does not work. i get a “Invalid username or email.” response and this comes from woocommerce directly. at least i found that string inside the wc plugin folder. if it was up to me, i’d rather have a response like “if this account exists, we send out a reset link” (or similar) and not the hint about the username/email. it would be awesome, if you could work together with the folks of aios to solve this issue?!
as far as i can see it, they filter the error messages, so all wc needs to do, is pass the errors to the right standard wordpress filter..
