Title: NetOp School Administration Authentication Vulnerability

Severity: LOW

Description:

NetOp School is classroom software that allows an instructor to view, control, and broadcast to student terminals.

When the student logs in to the terminal, the student component of the software runs in the background. If the student then attempts to start the administrator component, they will be challenged for authentication.

However, if the student uses a task manager to terminate the student process, they can start the administrator software without being prompted for authentication.

This could allow an attacker to browse other PCs in the classroom network.

Affected Products:

  • CrossTec Corp NetOp School 1.5.0
