CVE-2025-0288 is an arbitrary kernel memory vulnerability in Paragon Software BioNTdrv.sys, affecting Paragon Partition Manager version 7.9.1. The flaw is associated with use of the memmove function in the kernel driver without proper validation or sanitization of user-controlled input. As described, this allows an attacker to trigger writes to arbitrary kernel memory from a trusted, Microsoft-signed driver context. Because BioNTdrv.sys operates in kernel mode and provides privileged low-level disk access, successful exploitation can corrupt kernel memory structures and be used to elevate privileges on Windows systems.

This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-0288, a vulnerability in the BioNTDrv.sys Windows driver. The main file, POC_CVE-2025-0288.c, is a C program that opens a handle to the device interface \\.\BioNTDrv and sends a crafted IOCTL (0x220014) with a specific payload designed to trigger a crash in the driver. The exploit demonstrates the vulnerability by causing a denial of service (likely a BSOD) on systems with the vulnerable driver installed. The repository also includes a README with a brief description and a reference to a detailed write-up, but the core exploit logic is contained in the single C source file. No network endpoints are involved; the attack vector is local, requiring the attacker to execute code on the target system with access to the device driver.
This repository contains a single C file (CVE-2025-0288.c) that serves as a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2025-0288, a vulnerability in the BioNTdrv.sys Windows driver. The exploit opens a handle to the device \\.\BioNT_BS and sends a specially crafted IOCTL (0x220014) with a user-controlled structure to trigger a vulnerable memmove operation in the driver. The code demonstrates the ability to control the destination virtual address for the memory move, which could be leveraged for further exploitation such as privilege escalation or arbitrary memory write. The exploit is local and requires access to a system with the vulnerable driver installed. The repository is well-structured for demonstration purposes, containing only the exploit code and no additional files.
