Now adding list of prohibited (browser) processes automatically to all config files which SEB Client or SEB Config Tool opens, unless a prohibited process with the same name already exists. In addition, SEB 2.1.7 improves handling permitted and prohibited processes in general and blocks prohibited processes more securely.

We recommend an immediate update if you're using SEB 2.1.6 or you configured SEB to use the "Disable Explorer Shell" kiosk mode. This security issue was induced by SEB 2.1.6 for many SEB users. This SEB version fixes a problem with Chrome and some other web browsers which could display notifications while SEB was running.

Process monitoring is now always active if either of the two kiosk modes is set.įixed a security issue, now checking if SEB windows use original filename as well.įixed dialog for entering settings password (if displayed when starting SEB) had a wrong scale if the system DPI ratio was different than 100%.Īdded monitoring of Windows File Explorer to prevent rare cases when explorer.exe was restarted and the shortcuts Win+Tab and Win+D were working.įixed that the wrong permitted process was automatically started (with autostart property set) when the SEB browser is deactivated.įixed quitting SEB didn't quit some permitted processes like Acrobat Reader. Now removing prohibited default browser processes in SEB Config Tool conditionally (if admin user confirms) from settings when loading config file which has Create new desktop kiosk mode set or when switching to Create new desktop (in Security tab). If you need to allow one of these processes, then just deselect the "Active" flag of that process in Applications/Prohibited Processes. Re-integrated the "Create New Desktop" kiosk mode and declared dpi-awareness to resolve mouse pointer offset.Īdding strictly prohibited default processes (screen sharing and communication tools) unconditionally to settings, default prohibited browser processes only in Disable Explorer Shell kiosk mode. In addition, SEB 2.1.8 blocks new default prohibited processes like some screen sharing and communication tools, fixes the severe "Sticky Keys" security issue and a rare bug which made it possible to switch applications using the shortcut Win + Tab on some devices.
If you open a config file containing such default prohibited processes in SEB Config Tool or switch back to "Create new desktop", a dialog is displayed asking if you want to remove those processes. You can also remove the default prohibited browser processes from your settings which were added by SEB 2.1.7. If you manually changed your settings to use the "Disable Explorer Shell" kiosk mode with these two SEB versions, then you can change it back to "Create new Desktop" again. We recommend an immediate update if you're using SEB 2.1.6/2.1.7. This is possible because the mouse pointer offset problem which occurred with SEB 2.1.5, "Create new desktop" and a recent Windows Creators Update could be solved now.
This SEB version re-introduces the "Create new desktop" kiosk mode, which reliably blocks notifications from various applications like some web browsers (applications which don't use standard Windows notifications, those were always blocked in SEB). SEB 2.1.8 for Windows is an important update which increases security and stability. Release notes Safe Exam Browser for Windows version 2.1.8:
