SharpGPOAbuse is a C# .NET command-line tool that abuses a user's edit rights on a Group Policy Object to compromise objects controlled by that GPO. It supports attacks such as adding local admins, user rights, logon scripts, and immediate scheduled tasks.

Use cases

  • abuse edit rights on a GPO during a penetration test
  • add a user to the local administrators group via Group Policy
  • add malicious startup or logon scripts through a GPO
  • grant a user additional privileges via GPO user rights
  • demonstrate GPO-based privilege escalation risks to clients

When to choose

  • you are red teaming or pentesting an Active Directory environment and have write access to a GPO
  • you need a quick C# tool to demonstrate GPO abuse on Windows
  • you want to show impact of overly permissive GPO edit rights

When to avoid

  • you need a defensive tool to audit or harden GPO permissions
  • you are on a non-Windows environment without .NET support
  • you need a maintained tool with an active release cycle or license
