A proof-of-concept exploit tool implementing the PrintNightmare vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-1675/CVE-2021-34527) in both C# and Python (Impacket). It enables remote or local execution of malicious DLLs against Windows Print Spooler services, including fully patched Domain Controllers with certain registry misconfigurations.

Use cases

  • test if a domain controller is vulnerable to PrintNightmare
  • demonstrate CVE-2021-1675 remote code execution in a pentest
  • check whether PointAndPrint registry settings leave a patched machine exploitable
  • execute a malicious DLL remotely via the Print Spooler
  • run the exploit locally for privilege escalation testing
  • verify Print Spooler patch effectiveness during a security assessment

When to choose

  • you need a working PrintNightmare PoC for authorized penetration testing
  • you want an Impacket-based Python implementation that runs from Linux
  • you are validating Windows Print Spooler hardening and patch status
  • you need both local and remote DLL execution variants of the exploit

When to avoid

  • you need a hardened, maintained security tool - this is a PoC with no license and limited upkeep
  • you are looking for a defensive scanner rather than an exploit
  • your target is not Windows with the Print Spooler service running
  • unauthorized use - this tool performs exploitation and is illegal outside authorized testing
