A simple Proof of Concept in Go to spawn a new shell as TrustedInstaller. Read more about how this PoC works on this blog about TrustedInstaller. It is important to note that this should be executed as a user which has SeDebugPrivileges. Upon execution, it will automatically ask for UAC in case it is not executed as as an Administrator.

1. Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/FourCoreLabs/TrustedInstallerPOC.git

2. Ensure you have Go installed. This POC has been tested on Go 1.19.
3. Either build the binary and execute it

$ go build ti
$ ./ti.exe

4. Or run it directly

$ go run ti

This will spawn a new cmd shell with TrustedInstaller privileges which can be confirmed by running the command whoami /all

• RunAsTrustedInstaller
  • Use the RunAsTrustedInstaller function to pass any executable to be run with TrustedInstaller privileges.
