Key features of this edition:

[+] Dual Exploit Strategies: Two distinct exploit versions using Token Stealing and I/O Ring techniques.
[+] Exploit ALPC + PreviousMode Flip + Token Stealing: elevation of privilege of a regular user to SYSTEM.
[+] Exploit ALPC + Pipes + I/O Ring: elevation of privilege of a regular user to SYSTEM.
[+] Solid Reliability: Two complete working and stable exploits, including an improved cleanup stage.
[+] Optimized Exploit Logic: Significant refinements to the codebase and technical execution for better stability and predictability.

The article guides you through the two distinct techniques for exploiting the CVE-2024-30085 Heap Buffer Overflow vulnerability.

I would like to thank Ilfak Guilfanov (@ilfak on X) and Hex-Rays SA (@HexRaysSA on X) for their constant and uninterrupted support, which has helped me write these articles over time.

I hope this serves as a definitive resource for your research. If you find it helpful, please feel free to share it or reach out with your feedback!

Key updates in this extended edition:

[+] Dual Exploit Strategies: Two distinct exploit versions.
[+] Exploit ALPC Write Primitive Edition: elevation of privilege of a regular user to SYSTEM.
[+] Exploit Parent Process ID Spoofing Edition: elevation of privilege of an administrator to SYSTEM.
[+] Solid Reliability: A completely stable and working ALPC write primitive.
[+] Optimized Exploit Logic: Significant refinements to the codebase and technical execution for better stability and predictability.

For those who have read the original release, whose exploit was working, my strong recommendation is that you adopt this extended edition as definitive.

The article guides you through the entire lifecycle of an exploit: from initial reverse engineering and vulnerability analysis to multiple PoC developments and full exploitation.
