Windows Escalate UAC Protection Bypass (Via SilentCleanup)

Disclosed
Feb 24, 2019

Description

There's a task in Windows Task Scheduler called "SilentCleanup" which, while it's executed as Users, automatically runs with elevated privileges.
When it runs, it executes the file %windir%\system32\cleanmgr.exe. Since it runs as Users, and we can control user's environment variables,
%windir% (normally pointing to C:\Windows) can be changed to point to whatever we want, and it'll run as admin.
