This repository contains a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2025-47962, targeting a privilege escalation vulnerability in the 'IpOverUsbSvc' service installed with the Windows SDK. The vulnerability arises from insecure permissions (Full Control for BUILTIN\Users) on the 'C:\Microsoft Shared\' directory, allowing a non-privileged user to place a malicious DLL (CRYPTBASE.dll) in the service's binary directory. When the 'IpOverUsbSvc' service is restarted, it loads the attacker's DLL as SYSTEM, resulting in privilege escalation. The provided PoC DLL, written in C, demonstrates successful exploitation by creating a file ('C:\Windows\Temp\PWNED_SYSTEM.txt') as SYSTEM. The repository consists of a README.md with detailed exploitation steps and a single C source file (poc.c) for the malicious DLL. No network endpoints are involved; the attack vector is local privilege escalation via DLL hijacking.
