A new zero-day Local Privilege Escalation exploit has been put up for sale on a notorious hacker forum.
This exploit, which has not yet been assigned a CVE reference, is said to be capable of granting unauthorized users elevated privileges on any Windows system.
The asking price for this exploit is a staggering $220,000, indicating its potential severity and the threat actor’s confidence in its effectiveness.
The emergence of this exploit is particularly alarming for Windows users, both individual and corporate, as it can potentially allow attackers to gain higher-level permissions on a targeted system.
The exploit’s ability to affect all Windows platforms suggests that no version of the operating system is safe, and the lack of a CVE reference means that there is no official acknowledgment or fix available yet.
Details of the exploit are not known completely. Considering the high price tag of the exploit implies that it is both reliable and difficult to detect, making it a valuable tool for cybercriminals
