CopyFail is a Python-based exploit tool targeting the CVE-2026-31431 vulnerability, which allows local privilege escalation on vulnerable Linux kernels (4.11 to <6.18). It utilizes the AF_ALG socket interface bug to enable unprivileged users to overwrite setuid binaries, bypassing race conditions and kernel-specific offsets, making it applicable across various distributions. Key features include the ability to check system vulnerability status, a simple execution process, and container escape capabilities, all while being an educational tool intended for authorized testing only.
