Research direction

The payload names no source file, test, or entry point; start by reproducing the RegOpenKeyExA example and checking Enum member (M) lookup for ffffffff80000002. Done means HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and the listed Windows constants resolve as enumerations, with coverage for the other missing values identified during the same investigation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Component: Type Libraries Effort: Medium Impact: Medium

Binary Ninja Version: 3.4.4090-dev
Platform: Windows 11 Version 22H2

if (RegOpenKeyExA(ffffffff80000002, "Software\Microsoft\Cryptography", 0, 0x101, &hKey) == NO_ERROR) {

Enum member (M) feature can not find a enumeration for ffffffff80000002.

There are other missing enumerations too, I don't want to open an issue for each of them. I.E INFINITE, SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP, SW_HIDE, SW_SHOW, STATUS_FATAL_APP_EXIT, SIOCGIFHWADDR etc.
