Details
User enumeration is a way to fetch user data from your website through targeting known vulnerabilities. Although the hacker can fetch only the username details with this, it still is a serious risk. The two main vulnerable endpoint covered in this script are -
{BaseURL}/wp-json/wp/v2/users{BaseURL}?author={integer}Accessing these URLs on a vulnerable site can directly reveal all users and their usernames to an attacker. Our team at Astra Security would like to contribute the scan rule to check if a website is vulnerable to this enumeration technique or not.
The script works for both Graal.js and Nashorn Engines.

Sample
To simulate this vulnerability, we have one such endpoint configured at HypeJab. Can be used to test the script.
