Did you know that LSASS has the ability to execute arbitrary kernel-mode addresses? I wrote a small proof of concept that allows administrators to execute unsigned code in the kernel if LSA Protection is disabled.

Good news! Valve fixed my recent exploit and gave me permissions to disclose details. That being said, I am working on a detailed technical write-up which I am going to release soon. Stay tuned!

A bug allows any user to crash the Windows Event Log service of any other Windows 10/Server 2022 machine on the same domain. According to MSRC, the bug does not meet the bar for servicing and therefore they allowed me to publish a proof of concept.

I believe some things need to be clarified regarding my source engine exploit. First of all, I decided not to put people at risk by disclosing technical details before this gets fixed. (1/4)

Recently, I've seen some people complaining about long response times at bugbounty programs. Let's play a game, can you beat one of my "recent" gems? A wormable, single click RCE affecting every Steam user that owns atleast one Source engine game - NOT resolved for 500+ days.

After all, I am not trying to harm anybody. I just want to see this bug getting fixed. Then, I can release a write-up that some people hopefully find interesting! (4/4)

I tried to reach out to Valve countless of times since then. Although they did pay me a bounty 6 months ago, I am left without any clear response. I feel like this bug is never going to be fixed as long as it is not addressed publicly. (3/4)

I submitted the bug at H1 roughly 2 years ago and it got verified/triaged after a couple of months. That being said, I think it is reasonable to say that Valve had plenty of time to fix this issue. (2/4)

"When we posted that this exploit affects every source engine game one should understand this as 'every game might theoretically be affected as it is a bug in the engine and not something game specific.'" - Thank you for including this, as many people seem to have misunderstood!

NEW: Hackers could take over 'Counter Strike' players' computers with a Steam invite. The bug is still unpatched, even though researcher reported it almost two years ago.

@GabrielLandau I did report it and they didn’t seem to care. It got a low severity assigned and therefore it doesn’t meet the bar for servicing.

@mr_phrazer I am very glad that I attended your workshop today! Highly recommending it to everybody who is interested in code (de-)obfuscation. :)

@Jean_Maes_1994 Any approach that enables you to execute your code in the lsass.exe process should work fine.

@thexpaw @the_secret_club I do have a H1 ticket assigned, the bug got triaged a couple of months after submission and actually a bounty has already been paid too. While the guy working at H1 occasionally responds to my messages, Valve never showed up again after paying the bounty.

If performed remotely, the DoS does not work on clients that have the Remote Event Log feature blocked in their firewall. Whether this is the case, I guess, depends on many factors such as the domain group policies for example.

@wdormann @the_secret_club @hasherezade They aren't really actively preventing me. I am just waiting for them to fix this because I think it is unreasonable to disclose anything before. Even though in my opinion Valve deserved it, it is not worth putting millions of people at risk.

@Tyler_McV @the_secret_club They are preventing me from disclosing it by not fixing it. There is an open H1 ticket, the bug has been triaged, and also a bounty was paid. It is safe to say that this bug has been communicated to them at least 1 1/2 years ago.

@rvandenbrink @thegrugq Impact should be the same as the LogCrusher bug from late 2022. MS stated that this bug doesn't require immediate action but will be fixed in the future. Then they claimed it was a duplicate of another bug from 2022 (coincidence?) that didn't meet the requirements for servicing.

@_tsuro Just wow. Did it get triaged atleast or is it the fault of H1 that it takes forever?

@XMPPwocky @vm_call Yes they are, however, this exploit does not make use of them. Once this bug gets resolved, I will definitely write a blogpost about it.

@yarden_shafir @GabrielLandau I actually got a trick up my sleeve to kill LSASS as unprivileged user regardless of LSA protection but it doesn’t help. The registration is locked in.

@garrynewman @gmodofficial I'd love to see this fixed in Garry's Mod, but at the same time I'd rather not share technical details without consulting Valve before. I am sorry.

@MSTRMN_ @daax_rynd Yeah, that's understandable. In my case it's not that Valve didn't respond at all, they just kept telling me "that they are currently working on it".

@JustNickTV Well, I don't think so. I mean I did not disclose details thus I do not see any reasons for them to take it back in the first place.

@ConcealedBones @JustNickTV The bug itself is extremely easy to fix. I even offered them my help and made several suggestions on what to do. I know for a fact that they know how to fix this, but I can't elaborate on this at the moment, sorry.
