This repository contains a single Metasploit module implementing a local privilege escalation exploit for CVE-2024-30088, a Windows Kernel TOCTOU vulnerability in the AuthzBasepCopyoutInternalSecurityAttributes function. The exploit targets multiple versions of Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server 2016/2019/2022. The module checks the target's Windows version and revision to determine exploitability. If the target is vulnerable, the exploit attempts to steal a handle from the winlogon.exe process and injects arbitrary shellcode (typically a Meterpreter payload) to achieve SYSTEM privileges. The module uses reflective DLL injection and interacts with process memory to perform the escalation. The only endpoints referenced are the winlogon.exe process and a DLL file used for the exploit. The code is operational and intended for use within the Metasploit framework, requiring an existing session on the target system.
