Alshammari Won Best Demo at USENIX Security Symposium

At the 3rd USENIX Symposium on Vehicle Security and Privacy (VehicleSec ‘25), PhD student Fayzah Alshammari presented “CPExploiter: from Cyber to Physical: Understanding the End-to-End Physical Attack Capability of Cyber-Attacks on Robotic Vehicles.” Alshammari’s paper expresses that previous research focuses on vulnerability discovery without understanding the end-to-end impact of robotic vehicle cyber-attacks. Her demo uses VEI scenarios and automates escalation discovery via UAV-specific parameters to expose physical failure. CPExploiter won the Best Demo Award at VehicleSec ‘25.
