Re: Social Security Number in Hidden field

Is there any reason for the SSN being included in the page? Is it
used, i.e. can it be edited on the page?

If not it shouldn't be there by the sound of it.

Hello,

There is an application which is present in an intranet. When, the
Admin of the application loads the user information page, a field
called SSN appears. It shows ###-##-####. But the actual SSN remains
in a hidden field.

Do you think there should be a security issue with this ?

Jyoti
