We encountered an issue where a small subset of exams with incomplete flows data failed to load properly after the release. We worked to correct the data in the database and also created a hotfix to handle the flows data better.

Scheduled

We will be performing an update to Scorpion which adds the following enhancements:

New feature: Malicious Extension Blocker

This new feature is found in Forms menu option under Configurations. The configuration of the blocker is located under security settings. When enabled, it will not allow an exam to launch if a potentially malicious extension is detected. If an extension gets installed/enabled during an exam, it will block exam content until the extension is uninstalled/disabled.

The feature is in response to the countless AI extensions that now exist which can quickly and accurately answer almost all item types.

The extension blocker is disabled by default, as it may affect integrations with other vendors in your exam environment if they use extensions. It is recommended you test with your full exam stack before enabling. That said, it is highly recommended to enable this feature on high-stakes exams to combat the new AI threat. No downtime is expected in this release.
