EPScalate

EPScalate is a proof-of-concept exploit that targets an elevation of privilege vulnerability (CVE-2023-31497) in QuickHeal's Seqrite Enterprise Endpoint Security solution. The tool leverages weak permissions on directory and file installations, enabling low-privilege users to escalate privileges to root by overwriting executable files or manipulating startup scripts. Notable features include the ability to perform privilege escalation via either daemon binary overwrites or injecting reverse shell commands into system initialization scripts.
