This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2024-38041, an information disclosure vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows appid.sys driver (specifically on Windows 11 22H2 Build 22621). The exploit is implemented in a single C file (CVE-2024-38041.c) and demonstrates how a local attacker with high integrity privileges can leak kernel pointers to user mode by sending a crafted IOCTL (0x22A014) to the appid.sys driver. The exploit starts the AppIDSvc service if it is not running, locates a LOCAL_SERVICE process and thread, enables SeDebugPrivilege, impersonates the thread, and then opens a handle to the device (\\.\GLOBALROOT\Device\AppID). It then issues the vulnerable IOCTL to leak kernel memory, printing the results. The README provides a brief description of the vulnerability. No weaponized payload is included; the exploit is a PoC for information disclosure only.
