This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2018-8410, a Windows Kernel Registry Elevation of Privilege vulnerability. The main file, 'poc.cpp', is a C++ program that demonstrates the vulnerability by opening a specific registry key (\REGISTRY\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009) and calling low-level Windows Native API functions (NtOpenKey and NtEnumerateKey). The exploit triggers a double dereference in the Windows kernel, which can result in a system crash (BSOD) or potentially allow privilege escalation. The exploit requires local execution on a vulnerable Windows system. The repository is minimal, containing only a README and the PoC source code.
