Major

27.10.2026, 09:45 • Studmail

Due to a security vulnerability, the Studmailer web interface remains disconnected from the Internet. A complete reinstallation is required; unfortunately, this will take a few more days. Internally, within the university network, everything is available as usual.

You can access the system externally via a VPN connection. Register on our website to use OpenVPN, install the client on your device, and then connect to the university.
