IIT Kanpur has hired Nisarga Adhikary, a teenager known for exposing security weaknesses in the CBSE OSM portal, according to reports. Both outlets say Nisarga publicly highlighted vulnerabilities in the system and linked his disclosure efforts to CERT-In, India’s cyber incident response agency.
Mint reports that Nisarga claimed he disclosed five critical vulnerabilities in the OSM portal to CERT-In. India Today similarly focuses on the hiring announcement, describing him as the teen hacker who exposed flaws in the CBSE OSM portal. The reports do not provide additional technical details about the specific vulnerabilities, the remediation steps taken by CBSE, or the scope of how IIT Kanpur plans to use his skills.
Overall, the coverage aligns on two points: Nisarga is associated with a reported vulnerability disclosure involving the CBSE OSM portal, and IIT Kanpur has taken him on following that work.
