If you go to /password/recover/ and enter a valid username, it redirects to /password/recover//. If you enter an invalid username then it redirects to /password/recover/IiI/, which decodes to an empty string.

This is insecure because it allows a third-party to test for username validity (and obtain previously unknown email addresses) by attempting to reset the passwords. It should not in anyway expose:

  1. whether a username/email address is valid or not, or
  2. return an email address for a valid username when the email address was not known previously.
