HVCI enforces the policy. This means memory pages can be writable (to store data) or executable (to run code), but never both at the same time. This effectively kills traditional buffer overflow attacks that attempt to inject and run shellcode in kernel space. Why Attempt an HVCI Bypass?
Vector B: Return/Jump-Oriented Programming (ROP/JOP) in Kernel Space Hvci Bypass
The hypervisor verifies the digital signature of all kernel-mode drivers before they are allowed to execute. Common HVCI Bypass Vectors HVCI enforces the policy
HVCI uses virtualization to protect the kernel, but it can conflict with older drivers or high-intensity gaming. The "Bypass" (Disabling): Windows Security Device Security Core isolation details Memory integrity Hvci Bypass
