This repository contains a working local privilege escalation exploit for CVE-2024-27460, targeting Plantronics Desktop Hub on Windows. The exploit is implemented in C++ and leverages a race condition and abuse of the MSI rollback mechanism to achieve arbitrary file deletion as SYSTEM. The main entry point is 'CVE-2024-27460.cpp', which orchestrates the attack by creating and manipulating directories and files such as 'C:\Config.msi' and 'C:\ProgramData\Plantronics\Spokes3G\MajorUpgrade.config'. The exploit uses advanced Windows features such as oplocks, symbolic links, and junctions to redirect file operations and overwrite rollback scripts. The repository includes all necessary project files for building the exploit, as well as resource files for embedding the required MSI and rollback script payloads. The exploit is operational and demonstrates a real-world attack scenario, but does not include a customizable payload beyond the file deletion capability.
