This repository provides a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2024-0197, a local privilege escalation vulnerability in Thales Sentinel HASP LDK on Windows. The exploit leverages DLL search order hijacking by placing a malicious proxy DLL (fltlib.dll) in the AppData\Local\Temp directory. The DLL is compiled from raw.cpp, which exports all the necessary functions to proxy calls to the legitimate fltlib.dll in System32, ensuring application stability. When loaded (by running msiexec.exe with a vulnerable MSI), the DLL logs the module filename, command line, and username to C:\users\Public\poc.txt, demonstrating code execution in the context of the privileged process. The repository contains two files: a README.md with usage instructions and raw.cpp containing the proxy DLL code. The exploit is a POC and does not include weaponized payloads, but demonstrates the ability to escalate privileges to SYSTEM.
