From the same author as BlueHammer we now have RedSun.

This works ~100% reliably to go from unprivileged user to SYSTEM against Windows 11 and Windows Server 2019+ with April 2026 updates, as well as Windows 10, as long as you have Windows Defender enabled. Any system that has cldapi.dll should be affected.

As a person who has followed Iranian cyberespionage operations for more than a decade, this story is crazypants and you should read it:

Best quote I've seen all day so far, from an Ars piece by @dangoodin on skepticism around OpenAI's breathless claim that a Chinese hacking group used Claude code to automate 90 percent of their attack:

“I continue to refuse to believe that attackers are somehow able to get these models to jump through hoops that nobody else can,” Dan Tentler, executive founder of Phobos Group and a researcher with expertise in complex security breaches, told Ars. “Why do the models give these attackers what they want 90% of the time but the rest of us have to deal with ass-kissing, stonewalling, and acid trips?”

Researchers question Anthropic claim that AI-assisted attack was 90% autonomous

The results of AI-assisted hacking aren’t as impressive as many might have us believe.
