Quiz system exploit discovered

Featured Replies

Not sure if this is the appropritate place to say this, but to day I discovered a way how to cheat when taking quizzes, and I just wanted to report that, so that this may be made impossible. What I did was the following: I took a quiz, then I wanted to navigate back to some other forum by clicking the "prevoious page" symbol. This took me back to the quiz, where I - just out of couriosity - tried to take the quiz again, and guess what: It worked again, so I now have two entries in this particular leader board.

I thought that the system wouldn't allow submitting a quiz a second time, hence I was very surprised that it worked, and I thought I'd report that, so that maybe you could make this impossible, and also to warn other members, that this might happen.

 

Best regards,

Flo

You are correct. This is now a known exploit here thanks to you. Hopefully people won't cheat -- we already have it restricted to one quiz only.

Sincerely,

Chase
