What is CVE-2020-12446?

The G.SKILL Trident Z Lighting Control driver (ene.sys) prior to version 1.00.08 has significant security flaws that allow local non-privileged users to map and unmap physical memory. This vulnerability also permits reading and writing to Model Specific Register (MSR) registers, as well as unauthorized input and output operations to I/O ports. Exploitation of this vulnerability provides an avenue for privilege escalation to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
