some people consider this as a security vulnerability but not everybody. eg
drupal

https://drupal.org/node/1004778

In Drupal, is the same problem. Using ctools, you can get username finding

(by [Username])

https://drupal.org/?q=ctools/autocomplete/node/1

(by Amazon)

PoC:
?q=ctools/autocomplete/node/[ID]
