CVE-2026-68820: Windows WinSock (afd.sys) UAF - Mitigation & Detection PoC

📌 Overview

This repository contains an educational demonstration of the mitigation for CVE-2026-68820, a critical Use-After-Free (UAF) vulnerability in the Windows afd.sys driver.

Vulnerability context:

  • The vulnerability allows a local attacker with low privileges to escalate to SYSTEM [citation:13][citation:14].
  • It is being actively exploited by the North Korean Lazarus group in the Operation Dream Job campaign [citation:1][citation:5].
  • Microsoft released the official patch on August 11, 2026 [citation:1][citation:10].
  • It is listed in the CISA KEV with a remediation deadline [citation:13].

🛡️ Mitigation (Conceptual Patch)

The code in src/afd_close_socket_patch.c demonstrates how to fix the root cause:

  1. Synchronization: Uses KeAcquireSpinLock for exclusive access to the socket.
  • Nullify before freeing: Captures the pointer and sets it to NULL before freeing the memory.
  • Reference counter: Uses InterlockedDecrement to release the object only when there are no active references [citation:4].
  • 🔍 Detection (Sigma and YARA)

    The detection/ folder contains rules to identify related malicious activity:

    Sigma Rules (SIEM)

    • afd_uaf_privilege_escalation.yml: Detects suspicious patterns of rapid socket creation/destruction (heap grooming) and privilege escalation [citation:11][citation:15].
    • suspicious_service_creation_post_afd.yml: Identifies suspicious service creation after anomalous network activity [citation:15].

    YARA Rules (File Scanning)

    • lazarus_fudmodule_rootkit.yar: Detects the FudModule v3.1 rootkit used in this campaign [citation:1][citation:14].
    • lazarus_relayshell_webshell.yar: Detects the RelayShell webshell used as a C2 relay [citation:1][citation:14].
    • troy_backdoor.yar: Detects the Troy backdoor [citation:1][citation:5].

    📊 Indicators of Compromise (IOCs)

    The file iocs/cve-2026-68820_iocs.csv contains hashes, domains, and IPs associated with the campaign [citation:1][citation:13].
