This repository contains a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2024-38127, a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows VHDX virtual disk subsystem. The main exploit code is in 'poc/poc.c', a C program that creates a virtual disk file at 'C:\Users\Public\CVE-2024-38127.vhdx', opens it, and issues a crafted DeviceIoControl call to trigger an out-of-bounds read. The program prints the contents of the output buffer before and after the call, demonstrating the memory leak. The repository is structured as a Visual Studio C/C++ project, with solution and project files for building the POC. The exploit is local and requires the ability to run code on the target Windows system. No remote or network endpoints are involved. The exploit does not provide code execution or privilege escalation, but demonstrates the ability to read unintended memory, which could be leveraged in further attacks.
