Title:
  Username enumeration vulnerability via login & password reset screens

Status in Mahara:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  A user enumeration vulnerability means that an attacker can get a list
  of legal usernames and/or email addresses from the site. A
  "bruteforce" user enumeration vulnerability means that if they have a
  list of potential usernames and/or email addresses, they can verify
  whether or not each of them is registered with an account in the site.

  The Mahara password reset page is vulnerable to this. You can simply
  go in to https://mahara.org/forgotpass.php and enter username or email
  after username or email, and get a friendly response indicating
  whether each one is registered with a user in the site or not.
