National Testing Agency comes under fresh cybersecurity scrutiny over re-exam platform

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has purportedly found itself at the centre of another row after a 16-year-old cybersecurity researcher flagged alleged vulnerabilities in its re-examination portal.

Rylen Anil, claimed that the portal has “a superadmin login bypass” with “extremely weak credentials”.

“This exposes bulk user data: ~7.9k observers, 676 CCs, 5.4k CS/centers, including names, emails and phone numbers,” Anil wrote on X.
