WordPress versions 6.4.3 and below appear to suffer from a REST API related username disclosure vulnerability.

# Title: wordpress 6.4.3 - Username Disclosure
# Author: h4shur

# Version: 6.4.3 and earlier
# Tested on: Windows 10 & Google Chrome
# Category : Web Application Bugs

### Description :
the REST API allows simulating different request types. As such, we can
perform a POST request with the “users” string in the body of the request,
and tell the REST API to act like it’s received a GET request.
You can see the management username in the "slug" feature. And even
security plugins like "iThemes Security" do not block this path.


### POC :
