# MSNightmare/SignDrop

> Proof-of-concept for a Windows CLFS local privilege escalation 0day: by manipulating object manager symbolic links, a privileged process (e.g. Windows Defender) is coerced into creating a .cnpf authentication file as SYSTEM.

- Magnitude: 3.9 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 371 total · +28 stars measured 2026-11-14, 00:03–11:14 UTC, ≈ 57 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Check the CLFS authentication mode in the registry to see if the system is vulnerable
- Run the PoC to obtain a SYSTEM shell on a test Windows machine
- Study the exploitation chain via ServerMpUpdateEngineSignature and symbolic links

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:03–11:14: 343 → 371 stars (+28). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +57 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 4 days old and already has 371 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #30.
- About 10 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 87
- Issues and pull requests: 1
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 83 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 5
- Latest release: 1.0 (2026-11-10)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
