Nisarga Adhikary, a 19-year-old Indian cybersecurity researcher, has been recognized by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) for responsibly disclosing a critical security vulnerability in one of the department's law-enforcement systems. Adhikary discovered the flaw while researching the CBSE's Online Submission of Marks (OSM) portal.

This discovery is not Adhikary's first involvement with US government systems; he had previously identified a vulnerability in a US Department of Defense system and reported it to the relevant authorities.
