Local privilege escalation via kernel-trusted process handles
Published May 1, 2024 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Improper access control in Tencent ACE-BASE.sys 1.0.2202.6217 allows local users to gain SYSTEM privileges through driver IOCTLs. Command 0x80002064 calls ObOpenObjectByPointer with AccessMode set to KernelMode, then returns the unrestricted process handle to user mode. A non-administrator account can request maximum permissions, inject code into a SYSTEM process, or terminate protected antimalware processes.
