The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.

The vulnerability exists due to SMB1 client connections can be downgraded to plaintext authentication. A remote attacker can perform a man-in-the-middle attack and downgrade a negotiated SMB1 client connection and its capabitilities.


2) Security Features (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-17049)

CWE-ID: CWE-254 - Security Features

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to security feature bypass issue in Kerberos. A remote administrator can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the application.


3) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25717)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to the Windows Active Directory (AD) domains have by default a feature to allow users to create computer accounts. A remote authenticated attacker can create such account with elevated privileges on the system.


4) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25718)

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to Samba AD DC does not correctly sandbox Kerberos tickets issued by an RODC, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.


5) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25719)

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition. A remote administrator can exploit the race and escalate privileges on the system.


6) Improper Authentication (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-25721)

CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly impose security restrictions, which leads to security restrictions bypass and privilege escalation.


8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-23192)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to the DCE/RPC fragment injection issue. A remote attacker can replace subsequent fragments in requests with their own data and alter the server behavior.


9) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-3738)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free
