The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has acknowledged vulnerabilities in the OnMark portal, which is operated by its service provider, following public concerns about potential security flaws. In a statement on X, the board confirmed that it has deployed a team of cybersecurity experts from various government agencies and the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) to enhance the platform's security. The identified vulnerabilities have been contained, and additional weaknesses are being assessed. This response follows reports from a teenager and cybersecurity researcher who highlighted potential risks of unauthorized access to examiner accounts within the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. CBSE clarified that the portal discussed online is not the live evaluation system and that no student data or evaluation records have been compromised. The board continues to review the system's security and has reached out to ethical hackers for further assistance, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures in educational institutions amid growing scrutiny of digital evaluation platforms.
