CVE-2002-0212
The login for Hosting Controller 1.1 through 1.4.1 returns different error messages when a valid or invalid user is provided, which allows remote attackers to determine the existence of valid usernames and makes it easier to conduct a brute force attack.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.59%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
