CVE-2026-97732 Details
Description
IRONMACE Ironshield 1.0.0.167 has a tvk.sys kernel-mode driver that authenticates client executables by checking for expected publisher and root-certificate strings in WIN_CERTIFICATE data ("IRONMACE Co., Ltd." and "DigiCert Trusted Root G4") instead of parsing and validating the PKCS signature data. As a result, a local unprivileged attacker may bypass this via crafted certificate data and obtain access to privileged IOCTL functionality.
A vulnerability exists in the IRONMACE Ironshield anti-cheat software, specifically in version 1.0.0.167, within the kernel-mode driver tvk.sys. This vulnerability allows local, unprivileged attackers to bypass authentication checks for client executables. The driver incorrectly verifies publisher and root-certificate strings in WIN_CERTIFICATE data, relying on expected values instead of properly validating the PKCS signature. Exploitation involves crafting a self-signed certificate that mimics the expected strings, thereby gaining unauthorized access to privileged IOCTL functions.
