A vulnerability exists in IBM API Connect versions 5.0.0.0 through 5.0.8.4, specifically in the role-based access control (RBAC) implementation of the management server. This flaw allows an authenticated user to bypass intended access restrictions and obtain highly sensitive information that should not be accessible to their role.

This repository is a Rust-based local privilege escalation exploit targeting GIGABYTE APP Center v1.05.21 and earlier, specifically exploiting CVE-2018-19320 and CVE-2018-19323. The exploit leverages a vulnerable driver (gdrv.sys) that exposes dangerous IOCTLs, allowing arbitrary kernel memory read/write and MSR manipulation. The main exploit logic is in src/main.rs, which uses primitives from src/gio.rs and src/kdriver.rs to interact with the driver. The exploit leaks kernel structure addresses, locates the SYSTEM process, and overwrites the current process's token with the SYSTEM token, then spawns a SYSTEM-level PowerShell process. The only required endpoint is the device handle \\.\GIO, which is used to communicate with the vulnerable driver. The exploit is operational and demonstrates a full privilege escalation chain on a properly configured and vulnerable system.
