This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-30052, a vulnerability in Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 (versions prior to 17.8.11) that allows arbitrary code execution via malicious dump files. The main exploit logic is implemented in the 'builder' directory, specifically in 'Program.cs', which automates the creation of a specially crafted dump file from provided PoC files (CHM, HTA, or Python script). The process involves generating a dummy executable and PDB, embedding malicious data, and producing a dump file. When this dump file is opened and debugged in a vulnerable Visual Studio 2022 installation, it triggers the execution of calc.exe, demonstrating code execution. The repository also includes a manifest to facilitate installation of the vulnerable Visual Studio version for testing. The attack vector is local, requiring the victim to open the malicious dump file in Visual Studio. The exploit does not target network endpoints but does reference specific file paths and URLs related to Visual Studio installation and configuration.
