This repository provides a proof-of-concept (POC) exploit for CVE-2025-10576, targeting a privilege escalation vulnerability in HP Sound Research SECOMNService on Windows. The exploit leverages weak permissions on a registry key to create a symbolic link, allowing an attacker to set a Debugger value for wsqmcons.exe under the Image File Execution Options (IFEO) registry path. By doing so, the attacker can execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM when wsqmcons.exe is triggered, either by restarting the SECOMNService or using the Windows Task Scheduler. The repository contains three files: a .gitignore, a README.md with usage instructions and background, and the main exploit code in soundresearch_poc.c. The exploit is local, requires the vulnerable service to be present, and provides SYSTEM-level command execution. The code includes functions for preparing the environment (creating the symlink), exploiting (setting the Debugger value and triggering execution), running arbitrary commands, and cleaning up artifacts. Key fingerprintable endpoints include specific registry paths and the use of the Windows Task Scheduler.
