This repository contains a single Metasploit module (ms_ndproxy.rb) that exploits a local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2013-5065) in the Microsoft Windows ndproxy.sys driver. The exploit targets Windows XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 systems where the 'Routing and Remote Access' service is running. The module abuses a flaw in IOCTL handling in ndproxy.sys to corrupt the HalDispatchTable in kernel memory, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The exploit is operational and leverages customizable Meterpreter payloads provided by the Metasploit framework. The code is written in Ruby and is structured as a standard Metasploit local exploit module, with all logic contained in a single file. No network endpoints are involved; the attack vector is purely local, requiring code execution on the target system.
