Local Privilege Escalation (LPE)

⭐Objective⭐

• Identify a local vulnerability, exploit it to gain SYSTEM privileges, and verify access from the attacker's machine.

1. Vulnerability Scanning: Perform a scan of the local Windows environment to identify available LPE vulnerabilities. Tools may include searchsploit, Metasploit auxiliary scanners, or custom scripts.
2. Exploitation: Select one identified vulnerability and execute an exploit payload to elevate privileges from champuser to nt authority\system.
3. Verification on Target: Confirm SYSTEM access on the Windows 10 host by showing the user in the Metasploit session, which must be running in the SYSTEM context.
4. Verification on c2: Demonstrate that the Kali Linux system now has access to resources restricted to SYSTEM users by running vssadmin and creating a volume shadow copy. Then use vssadmin to show the shadow copy was created.

📜Documentation for Phase 4 (Critical)📜

• Report Section:
  1. Provide a detailed technical analysis of the chosen vulnerability:
     • Specific name and CVE identifier.
     • Root cause of the weakness (e.g., insecure buffer handling, misconfigured service permissions).
     • Mechanism by which the exploit bypasses standard security controls.
  2. Link the enumeration findings from Phase 2 to the selection of this specific LPE vector.
  3. Include the output of vssadmin list shadows as proof of SYSTEM access on the C2 server.
