Windows Capcom.sys Kernel Execution Exploit (x64 only)
Description
This module abuses the Capcom.sys kernel driver's function that allows for an arbitrary function to be executed in the kernel from user land. This function purposely disables SMEP prior to invoking a function given by the caller. This has been tested on Windows 7, 8.1, 10 (x64) and Windows 11 (x64) upto build 22000.194. Note that builds after 22000.194 contain deny lists that prevent this driver from loading.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
