SecureLayer7 · Industry tear-sheet

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
- 01
Assignment-submission race conditions
Submission, regrade, and late-policy endpoints raced against each other to overwrite grades, replay submissions, or bypass cutoff windows.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- 02
Manual exploitation
Researchers attack LTI launches, submission flows, and grade pipelines by hand. Tools assist, they do not lead.
- 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.
- 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.
