What is CVE-2023-34312?

In Tencent QQ version 9.7.8.29039 and TIM version 3.4.7.22084, the applications fail to properly validate pointers during inter-process communication. This oversight may lead to a write-what-where condition, allowing potential attackers to manipulate application behavior and potentially execute unauthorized code.

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.
