Sensitive Information Disclosure Vulnerability in Kinetics Kiosk Product
The following script error message was noted being displayed this morning on an
airline check-in kiosk manufactured by Kinetics USA.
Vendor: Kinetics USA
www.kineticsUSA.com
Line: 107
Char: 2
Error: object expected
Code: 0

Clearly, building a product such as a publicly-accessible airline passenger
check-in kiosk using Internet Explorer and Windows is a very bad design
decision if you care at all about preventing this sort of information
disclosure.
Even so, IE can and should be configured so as not to display such script
errors.
Furthermore, the use of an IP address that is outside of the RFC 1918 private
subnet address range appears very irresponsible.
Sincerely,
Jason Coombs
