CVE-2022-26923
HIGH ⌖ ON CISA KEV · EXPLOITEDAuthenticated users could exploit a Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) vulnerability for privilege escalation to SYSTEM.
An authenticated user could manipulate computer accounts to acquire a certificate, allowing privilege escalation in AD DS. This is a high severity issue actively exploited in the wild. DIB orgs should apply patches immediately to prevent unauthorized access and potential data breaches.
Shame score — Active exploitation in the wild indicates negligence and a failure to apply critical security patches.
▸ RECOMMENDED ACTION Actively exploited (CISA KEV) — remediate now, ahead of your normal patch cycle.
An authenticated user could manipulate attributes on computer accounts they own or manage, and acquire a certificate from Active Directory Certificate Services that would allow for privilege escalation to SYSTEM.
