Abstract
The subject disclosure is directed towards detecting software vulnerabilities in an isolated computing environment. In order to evaluate each input submission from an external computer, a plurality of tasks are automatically generated for execution on one or more computing units running within the isolated computing environment. Various configurations of the one or more computing units are defined in which each computing unit executes the plurality of tasks. A report is produced comprising results associated with such an execution.
