Web applications often reveal when a username exists on system, either as a consequence of mis-configuration or as a design decision. For example, when wrong credentials are submitted, a message that states that either the username is present on the system or the provided password is wrong is returned. The information obtained can be used by an attacker to gain a list of users on system. This information can be used to attack the web application, for example, through a brute force or default username and password attack.

Solution provided by LGMS :
Ensure the application returns consistent generic error messages in response to invalid account name, password or other user credentials entered during the log in process. The messages need to strike the balance between being too cryptic and not being cryptic enough. Avoid inconsistent messaging that might accidentally tip off an attacker about internal state, such as whether a username is valid or not.
