Jamie & Thomas,

I think it's great that you both have an eye on security for something like this, caught it and want to let others know.  I'm hoping you responsibly reported this directly to the shop.msu.edu staff using the contact information under "Customer Service" on their home page first before posting it to a public forum.

AIS is investigating. Please contact me directly with details, rather than using the public forum, and I will pass the info on to the MSU PCI DSS Team.

Thanks, Gene

Quoting "Rytlewski, Jamie" <[log in to unmask]>:

So while I was looking at how shop.msu.edu does their forms I found
a
few very interesting details.


1)      There is no forced security when checking out

2)      You can see all your data, including Credit Card
information
(of course I did not submit my actual information).


This is a very huge security risk and with how much the University has cracked down on other departments for being PCI compliant, how
is
that shop.msu.edu is getting away with it being so insecure? Also,
if
the university wants us to use CASHnet so much, why is shop.msu.edu not using it?
