Steam Client Service Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Save to My finds to follow releases and star growth. Saved in this browser.

About the project

PoC for a local privilege escalation in the Steam Client Service: abuses a genuine Valve-signed VDF install script with a caller-controlled install root to make the SYSTEM service launch an arbitrary executable without a UAC prompt.

Useful for
  • Test the Steam Client Service vulnerability on your own Windows lab machine
  • Reproduce obtaining a SYSTEM shell from a standard user without UAC
  • Assess whether to update Steam or restrict the service in a corporate environment

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
