This repository provides a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-37742, targeting Safe Exam Browser (SEB) versions 3.5.0 and below on Windows. The exploit leverages improper clipboard isolation in SEB, allowing clipboard data to be shared between the SEB kiosk mode and the underlying Windows system. The main exploit is implemented in 'main.py', which offers two modes: (1) searching for answers in a local JSON file ('Answer-Key/file.json'), and (2) querying Gemini AI for answers. The script monitors the system's battery status using the WMI module; when the battery is discharging, it reads the clipboard (containing a copied exam question), retrieves the answer, and places it back into the clipboard for the user to paste into SEB. The exploit requires the user to have access to the system and the ability to run Python scripts. The repository includes a README with detailed usage instructions, a requirements.txt for dependencies, and a sample answer key JSON file. No network endpoints or remote command-and-control features are present; the exploit operates entirely locally, with optional use of the Gemini AI API for answer retrieval.
