The Windows Cloud Files Mini Filter module (clfs.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition, which can result in arbitrary file write. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The steps performed by the exploit are: Start RasMan service Create sync root directory Create junction directory Create target junction and symlink Register sync root Create threads to exploit race condition and detect exploitation Trigger race condition Write the agent and execute it
The Agere Windows Modem module (ltmdm64.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to an untrusted pointer dereference, which can result in arbitrary memory write. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The steps performed by the exploit are: Leak the address of the current process Leak the address of the System process Leak the address of the I/O ring Trigger the vulnerability to overwrite IoRing->RegBuffersCount Trigger the vulnerability to overwrite IoRing->RegBuffers Leak the address of the System process token using I/O ring Overwrite the current process token using I/O ring Reset IoRing->RegBuffersCount to 0 Inject the agent into an elevated process
The Common Log File System Driver (clfs.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to a Use After Free, which can result in an arbitrary write. This module allows a local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The steps performed by the exploit are: Create target directory Perform a pool spray using pipes Creates two threads to win the race condition and trigger the UAF Use the RtlSetAllBits function to enable all privileges in the current process Inject a new agent into an elevated process to run as SYSTEM Successful exploitation is probabilistic and depends critically on two factors: CLFS internal state: The log container lifecycle must be coerced into the precise sequence that releases a vulnerable structure while references remain accessible. Interruptions (other CLFS activity, antivirus hooks, or system load) can alter timing and invalidate the race window. Pool spray: The density, timing, and size-class alignment of sprayed pipe allocations must closely match the freed allocation slot. Memory fragmentation, other kernel consumers, or spray volume reduce the odds of landing a controlled object in the target slot.
The Application Identity Service module (appid.sys) present in Microsoft Windows is vulnerable to an untrusted pointer dereference, which can result in arbitrary code execution. This module allows a local unprivileged user running as "LOCAL SERVICE" to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The steps performed by the exploit are: Leak the address of the current thread Leak the address of the current process token Leak the address of the SYSTEM process token Leak the address of the ExpProfileDelete kernel function Trigger the vulnerability to overwrite PreviousMode Replace the current process token with the SYSTEM token Restore original PreviousMode value
A vulnerability in the update service of Microsoft Windows Disk Cleanup Tool could allow an authenticated local attacker, to execute a crafted dll with SYSTEM user privileges. The steps performed by the exploit are: First It creates 3 folders: C:\$Windows.~WS, C:\ESD\Windows, C:\ESD\Download, inserts dummy .txt files and pauses. Create a thread to run first stage of executable FolderOrFileDeleteToSystem to set up the Config.msi. Create a second thread to run the second executable FolderContentsDeleteToFolderDelete to redirect content cleanup from C:\ESD\Windows to C:/Config.msi. It creates a task named SilentCleanup to trigger content cleanup and delete Config.msi. After deletion it creates a third thread to run second stage of FolderOrFileDeleteToSystem to drop HID.dll. Run osk.exe, then in another thread run mmc.exe.
A critical vulnerability (CVE-2025-32463) was discovered in Sudo versions 1.9.14 through 1.9.17. The vulnerability allows local users to obtain root access by exploiting the --chroot option, where /etc/nsswitch.conf from a user-controlled directory is used. This exploit creates a temporary directory structure that mimics a normal root environment, uploads a malicious /etc/nsswitch.conf which in turn calls a shared object that escalates privileges, the exploit is triggered when executing sudo with the -R flag pointing to the user controlled directory.
Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and speculative execution of memory reads before the addresses of all prior memory writes are known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis, aka Speculative Store Bypass (SSB), Variant 4.
Spectre breaks the isolation between different applications. It allows an attacker to trick error-free programs, which follow best practices, into leaking their secrets. In fact, the safety checks of said best practices actually increase the attack surface and may make applications more susceptible to Spectre
This module allow to set a short name 8.3 of a file when you don't have write privileges to the directory where the file is located.The vulnerability exists due to NtfsSetShortNameInfo does not properly impose security restrictions in NTFS Set Short Name, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation. SETTING THE STAGE. Log in as a normal user in the target machine, and create a txt file in root accepting the UAC prompts for the administrator, verify that you can write to this file, next pass the path to the file to the checker's TARGET_FILE_PATH argument, create the agent as normal user and use the checker, if the machine is vulnerable the ShortName of the file will be changed and displayed albeit you has no permission to do it in this folder
Meltdown breaks the most fundamental isolation between user applications and the operating system. This attack allows a program to access the memory, and thus also the secrets, of other programs and the operating system. It must be executed on an agent with root privileges only for linux system.
