CVE-2009-1769
The web interface in Open Computer and Software Inventory Next Generation (OCS Inventory NG) 1.01 generates different error messages depending on whether a username is valid, which allows remote attackers to enumerate valid usernames.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.56%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
