This repository contains a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2021-34486, a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10 (tested on version 20H2 x64). The main exploit logic is implemented in 'CVE-2021-34486.cpp', which is a C++ source file that interacts with Windows kernel APIs and ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) mechanisms. The exploit leaks kernel addresses, locates necessary kernel objects, and ultimately injects code into the winlogon process to gain SYSTEM privileges. The project includes Visual Studio project files for building the exploit. The README provides a brief description, test environment, and references. The exploit is not part of a framework and is a standalone POC targeting a specific Windows version. Notable fingerprintable endpoints include the log file path 'C:\Users\Public\test.etl' and the use of 'ntdll.dll' for native API calls.
