CVSSv3: 6.5 [CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C] [PCI]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16860
CWE-ID:
CWE-287 - Improper Authentication
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to compromise vulnerable domain.
The vulnerability exists due to an error within the process of obtaining kerberos ticket for a service from the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) that involves S4U2Self and S4U2Proxy extensions. A remote authenticated user can impersonate another service on the network and obtain elevated privileges within the domain.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable Active Directory implementation.
