This repository contains multiple local privilege escalation (LPE), arbitrary file deletion, and denial of service (DoS) exploits targeting the Wacom Driver 6.3.46-1 on Windows 10 21H2, specifically for CVE-2022-38604. The structure includes: - Three main batch scripts in the 'Exploits' directory: - 'AFD/Exploit.bat': Arbitrary file deletion exploit using mount points and symbolic links. - 'AFD2LPE/Exploit.bat': Chains file deletion with SYSTEM-level operations to spawn a SYSTEM command prompt (LPE). - 'AFD2WDOS/Exploit.bat': Exploits file deletion to cause a system crash (BSOD/DoS). - The 'FilesystemEoPs' directory contains C++ projects and binaries that implement the core primitives for folder/file deletion and SYSTEM command execution. Notably: - 'FolderContentsDeleteToFolderDelete' and 'FolderOrFileDeleteToSystem' provide the logic for folder/file deletion as SYSTEM, leveraging Windows native APIs and symbolic link attacks. - 'SystemCmdLauncher' is a DLL that, when loaded as SYSTEM, spawns a SYSTEM command prompt (cmd.exe). The exploits require local access and the ability to trigger the uninstallation of the vulnerable Wacom driver. The attack chain involves manipulating NTFS mount points and symbolic links to redirect privileged file operations, ultimately allowing arbitrary file/folder deletion, privilege escalation, or denial of service. The repository is well-structured, with clear separation between exploit scripts and supporting binaries, and includes both source code and precompiled binaries for ease of use.
