Low-privileged local IOCTL trigger with scope change to SYSTEM context gives C:H (full RAM dump) and I:H (arbitrary SYSTEM-context write); availability impact is incidental and not a reliable attacker outcome.

PassMark PerformanceTest before 11.1 build 1012, BurnInTest before 11.1 build 1000, and OSForensics before 11.1 build 1016 contain an information disclosure vulnerability in DirectIo64.sys that allows unauthenticated local attackers to dump complete physical memory contents by supplying a caller-controlled file path to an exposed IOCTL. Attackers can issue a single IOCTL call to trigger the driver to iterate all physical memory ranges via MmGetPhysicalMemoryRanges and map each page through ZwMapViewOfSection on the PhysicalMemory section object, writing a full RAM image to an attacker-specified path in the SYSTEM context, bypassing user-mode ACLs and exposing LSASS working set, process memory, and cryptographic material from all running processes.
AnalysisAI
Full physical memory disclosure in PassMark's shared kernel driver DirectIo64.sys affects PerformanceTest (before 11.1 build 1012), BurnInTest (before 11.1 build 1000), and OSForensics (before 11.1 build 1016) on Windows. A low-privileged local attacker can issue a single IOCTL call supplying an attacker-controlled output path, causing the driver to enumerate all physical memory ranges via MmGetPhysicalMemoryRanges and map each page through ZwMapViewOfSection on the PhysicalMemory section object, writing a complete RAM image to disk in SYSTEM context and bypassing user-mode ACLs. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Any local user-mode process with sufficient privilege to open a handle to the DirectIo64.sys device object can trigger the vulnerability - no administrative rights are required, only local code execution. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) scores 8.5, reflecting a local, low-complexity, low-privilege exploit with high CIA impact on the vulnerable system. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patches are confirmed: upgrade PassMark PerformanceTest to 11.1 build 1012 or later, BurnInTest to 11.1 build 1000 or later, and OSForensics to 11.1 build 1016 or later. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Windows systems running PassMark PerformanceTest, BurnInTest, or OSForensics and verify installed versions. …
