Security flaw reported on Gauteng school applications website

So no penetration test was done to the website before being pushed to production? I wonder what other OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities exist on the website
 
This has happened way to many times before....
Same development company?
Didn't Joburg or Pretoria have the same issue?

Cadres kids who just finished uni (3 year degree in 8 years) and then building websites when they have no clue.
 
What a useless website. Many mistakes
Not very responsive.
Useless for mobile.
 
Isn't this the exact same issue that the City of Joburg had with the municipality accounts a couple of years ago, which one of the MYBB members found and tried to warn the government of the issue and then got all hot headed claiming he was hacking?

You would of thought the government had learned its lesson in creating websites with flaws.
 
Is their a database of personal information? If there is there should be security audits. If due process is not followed and there is a leak of personal information the government is opening itself for a massive lawsuit, especially if people are coerced into having to add their information.
 
The amount of .gov.za sites that fail basic vulnerability assessments is staggering.
