This repository contains a local privilege escalation (LPE) exploit for CVE-2021-26868, targeting Microsoft Windows 10. The main code file, 'exp.cpp', is a C++ implementation that leverages the Windows Desktop Composition API (DComposition) and native system calls to manipulate kernel memory and escalate privileges. The exploit works by creating and manipulating DComposition channels and resources, exploiting a vulnerability to gain arbitrary kernel read/write capabilities. It then injects code into the winlogon.exe process, likely resulting in SYSTEM-level code execution. The exploit requires local access to the target system and is not a detection script or a fake exploit. The repository is minimal, containing only the exploit code and a brief README. No network endpoints are present; the attack vector is purely local. The code demonstrates a high level of technical sophistication, directly interacting with Windows internals and kernel structures.
