Loading vulnerability…
A time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition exists in BASupSrvcUpdater.exe in N-able Take Control Agent versions through 7.0.41.1141 (prior to 7.0.43). The vulnerability is triggered via a pseudo-symlink at %PROGRAMDATA%\GetSupportService_N-Central\PushUpdates, allowing an attacker to exploit the window between the check and use of a file path, resulting in arbitrary file deletion on the system.

This repository is a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2023-27470, a local privilege escalation vulnerability on Windows via arbitrary file deletion. The main code file, CVE-2023-27470_Exercise.cpp, implements a loop that continuously deletes all files in the C:\ProgramData\PushUpdates directory and logs each deletion to C:\ProgramData\logs\log.txt. The exploit is designed to be run with elevated privileges and demonstrates how improper file handling can be abused for privilege escalation, especially when combined with symlink or mount point attacks as described in the provided solution.txt. The repository includes Visual Studio project files for building the exploit, a README with setup instructions, and a solution.txt file detailing exploitation steps and how to leverage the vulnerability for SYSTEM-level access. No network or remote attack vectors are present; the exploit is purely local and targets file system operations on Windows.
