What, why and how

Windows Kerberos Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

What

Windows Kerberos Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Why

The product uses an authentication mechanism to restrict access to specific users or identities, but the mechanism does not sufficiently prove that the claimed identity is correct.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with elevated privileges. If successful, the issue may gain additional privileges.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Weak Authentication → gain additional privileges
Attack surface
Network
Privileges required
High: elevated access is required

Attack complexity
Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
Security boundary

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-1390 ↗

CWE-1390: Weak Authentication. The product uses an authentication mechanism to restrict access to specific users or identities, but the mechanism does not sufficiently prove that the claimed identity is correct.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0363Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Microsoft Windows

Een kwaadwillende kan de kwetsbaarheden misbruiken om een Denial-of-Service te veroorzaken, zich verhoogde rechten toe te kennen, willekeurige code uit te voeren met rechten van het slachtoffer en mogelijk toegang te krijgen tot gevoelige gegevens. De ernstigste kwetsbaarheid heeft kenmerk CVE-2024-43491 toegewezen gekregen en bevindt zich in het update-mechanisme van Windows. Door een fout in een vorige Services Stack Update (SSU) bleken eerder verholpen kwetsbaarheden weer te zijn teruggedraaid. Een of meer van deze kwetsbaarheden zijn vervolgens misbruikt door kwaadwillenden. Uitsluitend Windows 10 build 1507 installaties die de security updates vanaf maart 2024 (KB5035858), of andere updates t/m augustus 2024 hebben geïnstalleerd zijn kwetsbaar. Microsoft heeft geen informatie vrijgegeven om welke kwetsbaarheden dit precies gaat, maar adviseert om achtereenvolgens de September 2024 Servicing stack update (SSU KB5043936) EN de September 2024 Windows security update (KB5043083) te installeren. Meer detailinformatie kan worden verkregen in de Security Guidance van deze specifieke kwetsbaarheid. Zie hiervoor de bijgevoegde referenties. Van de kwetsbaarheden met kenmerk CVE-2024-38014 en CVE-2024-38217 geeft Microsoft aan informatie te hebben dat deze beperkt en gericht zijn misbruikt. De kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2024-38014 bevindt zich in de Installer en stelt een lokale kwaadwillende in staat zich verhoogde rechten toe te kennen, mogelijk tot SYSTEM-niveau. De kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2024-38217 bevindt zich in de Mark of the Web functionaliteit en stelt een kwaadwillende in staat om Mark of the Web te omzeilen en zo malafide code te (laten) uitvoeren door het slachtoffer. Voor succesvol misbruik moet de kwaadwillende het slachtoffer misleiden een malafide bestand te downloaden en uit te voeren vanaf een webserver onder controle van de kwaadwillende. Van de kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2024-38217 geeft Microsoft aan bekend te zijn dat Proof-of-Concept-code wordt gedeeld binnen gesloten gemeenschappen. Van de kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2024-38014 is (nog) geen Proof-of-Concept-code bekend. ``` Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-38256 | 5.50 | Toegang tot gevoelige gegevens | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Mark of the Web (MOTW): |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-38217 | 5.40 | Omzeilen van beveiligingsmaatregel | | CVE-2024-43487 | 6.50 | Omzeilen van beveiligingsmaatregel | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows MSHTML Platform: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-43461 | 8.80 | Voordoen als andere gebruiker | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows AllJoyn API: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-38257 | 7.50 | Toegang tot gevoelige gegevens | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Standards-Based Storage Management Service: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-38230 | 6.50 | Denial-of-Service | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Security Zone Mapping: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-30073 | 7.80 | Omzeilen van beveiligingsmaatregel | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Remote Access Connection Manager: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-38240 | 8.10 | Verkrijgen van verhoogde rechten | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Update: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-43491 | 9.80 | Uitvoeren van willekeurige code | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Installer: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-38014 | 7.80 | Verkrijgen van verhoogde rechten | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Microsoft Graphics Component: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-38249 | 7.80 | Verkrijgen van verhoogde rechten | | CVE-2024-38250 | 7.80 | Verkrijgen van verhoogde rechten | | CVE-2024-38247 | 7.80 | Verkrijgen van verhoogde rechten | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Libarchive: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-43495 | 7.30 | Uitvoeren van willekeurige code | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Setup and Deployment: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-43457 | 7.80 | Verkrijgen van verhoogde rechten | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Kerberos: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-38239 | 7.20 | Verkrijgen van verhoogde rechten | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Authentication Methods: |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-ID | CVSS | Impact | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| | CVE-2024-38254 | 5.50 | Toegang tot gevoelige gegevens | |----------------|------|-------------------------------------| Windows Win32K -
