Private clipboard on Windows

[1TheITCrowd]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Using Windows 11 - SEB Version 3.5.0
When taking a test in SEB it's possible to cut and paste text. In the background you could have a script running (10 lines of code) to replace certain text on the clipboard with other text. So when you paste the text again, your chosen text shows up.

For example:
A script that listens to the clipboard for the string "1". When within SEB I cut the number 1 to the clipboard. The script sees number 1 on the clipboard and replaces the text on the clipboard to something predefined. Then when I paste the text in SEB I get my new text that the script put on the clipboard.

Describe the solution you'd like
Block the use of the clipboard all together or use a clipboard that is not accessible with third party apps.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Blocking CTRL+X, CTRL+C or CTRL+V won't be enough because the hotkeys could be other key combinations

Additional context
It's better that I'm not publishing the code on here. This cheat has been actively used by our students

Thanks a lot for your report. This is a vulnerability which we're actually already aware of, and for which we've planned to implement a mitigation for the upcoming version 3.6.0.

[dbuechel]

We have implemented a first version of the functionality. It'd be great if you could have a look at the latest beta build and test it yourself: https://sebdev-let.ethz.ch/api/buildjobs/ds6r2vjrmd9vh9ra/artifacts/SEB_3.6.0.589_SetupBundle.exe. The different settings regarding the clipboard can be found under tab "Security" in the configuration tool.

Works like a charm for the workaround our students had found.

Excellent, thanks a lot for testing and providing feedback, that helps us a lot. We shall thus included the functionality with the upcoming next release version 3.6.0.
