If I theoretically have a way for a non-admin Windows user to be able to load an arbitrary already-on-system COM object library (InprocServer32) into a process that has system integrity, that could be argued to be a security boundary bypass.
But in the essence of PoC||GTFO, does anybody have any ideas for how this might be useful to an attacker? i.e., is there an object that can be leveraged to lead to privileged code execution?
