## Affected Versions

SEB ≤ 3.5.0 (Windows)

## How It Works

1. Incorrect access control allows clipboard data sharing between SEB kiosk and the underlying system.
2. The exploit utilizes the pyperclip Python module to copy answers from a JSON file in the 'Answer-Key' directory, containing questions and answers.
3. In SEB kiosk mode:\
   The user copies the question.\
   The wmi Python module monitors system charge and discharge states to signal a Python script.\
   The script accesses clipboard data, searches the JSON file for the answer, and pastes it into the clipboard.
4. Finally, the user pastes the answer from the clipboard into the answer field.
