The libobby server in inc/server.hpp in libnet6 (aka net6) before 1.3.14 does not perform authentication before checking the user name, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information such as server-usage patterns by a particular user and color preferences.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
