Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from differing authentication workflow paths:
- When a valid username is submitted, the system proceeds to password validation (including strength checks)
- When an invalid username is submitted, the system short-circuits to generic 'invalid credentials'
This suggests the login handler first checks username validity before evaluating password criteria. The Controller action managing this flow would be responsible for the information leak. While exact code isn't available, Symfony-based Mautic's architecture places this logic in LoginController, and the described behavior matches common authentication pattern flaws. Confidence is medium due to indirect evidence from vulnerability description and typical Symfony MVC patterns.
