kyyomaa/cve-2021-3560-exploitPart of my cybersecurity thesis consists in exploring and exploiting this vulnerability.
As part of my cybersecurity thesis I wanted to create an exploit for a vulnerability.
I HIGHLY recommend reading this guide, as this exploit is based on it:
https://github.blog/2021-06-10-privilege-escalation-polkit-root-on-linux-with-bug/
Also, check out this repo, as i took inspiration from it:
https://github.com/Almorabea/Polkit-exploit/blob/main/CVE-2021-3560.py
This code is by no means perfect, sometimes it gets a bit buggy if you set a password for the new user.
I recommend NOT setting a password.
If it does not create a new user, simply retry a few times and it will eventually work.
if you have any advices on how to improve this code, please, feel free to share them :) !
