Product Positioning & Context

AI Executive Synthesis
Demonstrating an LPE. The implicit positioning is a functional exploit, but it exhibits version-specific failures and cleanup issues.
The MiniPlasma PoC for CVE-2020-17103 exhibits inconsistent behavior, failing on Windows 10 with a 'Failed to run stage 1' error but working on Windows 11. Furthermore, the PoC encounters a critical 'NtApiDotNet.NtException' during cleanup, specifically failing to delete registry keys under 'CloudFiles\BlockedApps'. This indicates a lack of robustness in the exploit's post-execution phase, potentially leaving system artifacts. The developer pain points are the version-specific failures and the inability to cleanly remove exploit traces, requiring manual intervention or disabling Defender. The discussion also highlights the debate around the utility of such exploits when administrative privileges are already present. The market implication is that exploit tools require broad compatibility and reliable cleanup mechanisms to be considered effective and safe for security testing, otherwise their practical application is limited.

> Please provide exploit so opensource unsigned kernel drivers work even with secureboot
@RedBull8080 yes you are right, but if there were to exist a exploit allowing you to do what OP said that would basically render secureboot useless and make making rootkits as easy as normal malware which would be uhh, bad, to say the least

what's the point if you already have admin privilege?
