Sensitive Information Disclosure Vulnerability in Kinetics Kiosk Product

["Jason Coombs" <jasonc () science org>]

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,
