[Bug 41737] New: Page title (and thus browser history) exposes patron names, other unnecessary PII
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41737 Bug ID: 41737 Summary: Page title (and thus browser history) exposes patron names, other unnecessary PII Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: 24.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Staff interface Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: jake.bateman@openfifth.co.uk QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com Created attachment 192234 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=192234&action=edit An example of the floating/quick history menu in Edge displaying full patron names, after a staff user has logged out of Koha. We've recently had a library express privacy concerns relating to the exposure of full patron names, along with application verbs like "issuing to" and "modify user" in the page title, which propagates to browser history and persists after a staff interface logout. While live page titles and browser history of computers used by administrative staff should be considered "not for viewing by unauthenticated users", some cases of computer-sharing or shoulder-surfing in a library setting seems highly likely. This inclusion of full names in page titles to me does not seem strictly necessary. In some testing, we find that a popular CRM also exposes names like this in page titles, while the administrative pages of Gitea and Cloudflare seem to make an explicit effort not to do so. Do we think this warrants changing? I do feel this problem can most effectively be mitigated with process changes, but the question remains; could Koha minimise PII exposure here without impacting functionality? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
