From a low-privileged shell on Windows Server 2016 you run "whoami /priv" and confirm that SeImpersonatePrivilege is enabled for your account. Outbound COM/DCOM traffic to localhost is unrestricted. Which publicly available exploit most directly leverages this situation to obtain a SYSTEM-level command prompt?
JuicyPotato (and its successor PrintSpoofer) abuses the SeImpersonatePrivilege in conjunction with the COM service launch mechanism to obtain or duplicate a SYSTEM token, then starts a command shell running with those elevated rights. Sherlock only audits missing patches, Mimikatz focuses on credential extraction rather than token impersonation, and Procmon is a diagnostic tool that does not perform privilege escalation. Therefore, JuicyPotato is the most appropriate choice when SeImpersonatePrivilege is available and COM connections are allowed.
