EdTech

Learning platforms, assessment engines, and student-data pipelines tested with kid-safety, FERPA scope, and LTI trust boundaries front and centre.

60+

Pentest engagements across K-12, higher-ed, and corporate-learning platforms, including LTI integrations, proctoring, and grade-of-record systems.

Three named threats we test for

  1. 01

    Assignment-submission race conditions

    Submission, regrade, and late-policy endpoints raced against each other to overwrite grades, replay submissions, or bypass cutoff windows.

  2. 02

    LTI integration trust abuse

    LTI 1.3 launches and Deep Linking flows tested for over-trusting consumer claims, signature reuse, and role escalation across tenants.

  3. 03

    Grade-tampering via stale session tokens

    Long-lived tokens, sticky roles, and proctoring side-channels tested for paths that let a student or insider rewrite the record.

Findings cite real CVE records from SL7 Lab disclosure history, not screenshot mockups.

How we run the engagement

EdTech

  1. 01

    Scope and threat-model

    Engagement lead walks the platform with your engineering and student-safety owners. Outcome is a written threat model that names FERPA scope.

  2. 02

    Manual exploitation

    Researchers attack LTI launches, submission flows, and grade pipelines by hand. Tools assist, they do not lead.

  3. 03

    Chained-finding write-up

    Every report shows the path from entry to student-data impact, with reproduction steps a developer can replay against a staging tenant.

  4. 04

    Retest and sign-off

    Fixes are retested against the original exploit chain. CISO gets a signed letter that fits into the district or institution audit file.
