Safe Exam Browser security research

Security research, course project2023.NET · reverse engineering

For TU Eindhoven's offensive-security course, my team tested Safe Exam Browser, which restricts what students can access during an online exam. We reverse-engineered the Windows client and found several ways around its protections, including DLL injection, bypassing virtual-machine detection, and evading its process monitoring to run disallowed software.

We disclosed everything responsibly to the maintainers, and the fixes landed in the v3.6.0 release, which credits us by name for "proactive, constructive and responsible vulnerability disclosure."
