IServ School Server: When Privacy Lessons Fail the Test!
The IServ school server’s web login feature allows user enumeration, potentially revealing students’ schools. While IServ dismisses this as a non-issue, it’s a big deal for privacy, especially with threats like cyber-grooming lurking. So, when it comes to IServ, the only thing more exposed than your kids’ school data is their interpretation of “vulnerability.”
Hot Take:
Looks like IServ’s school server didn’t get the memo that “school’s out” for user privacy! With a login system that spills the beans on whether a user exists or not, it’s serving up a buffet of data for anyone with a penchant for digital sleuthing. Who knew school software could be the new playground for cyber mischief-makers?
Key Points:
- IServ school server’s web login allows user enumeration.
- Different responses for failed logins reveal whether a user account exists.
- Particularly concerning in the school context due to potential targeting by dangerous individuals.
- IServ GmbH does not consider this a vulnerability and has no plans for a fix.
- Public disclosure occurred swiftly after the issue was disputed by the vendor.
