Process termination via permissive Minifilter port
Published Aug 7, 2026 · Updated Aug 7, 2026
Improper access control in Jiangmin Antivirus 21 allows local users to terminate arbitrary processes through the kvcore.sys Minifilter port. KvCorePortX0 grants connection rights to EVERYONE, and MessageNotifyCallback passes a supplied PID through a kernel call chain ending in ZwTerminateProcess without authenticating the caller. Exploitation requires a running driver and, in the published PoC, an administrator command prompt; successful use stops processes without executing code.
