Privileged AD user not protected against delegation
A high-severity threat where a privileged AD user’s credentials are vulnerable to unauthorized delegation, enabling privilege escalation through Kerberos protocol exploitation.
Privileged AD account password set to never expire
A privileged AD account with a non-expiring password exposes Active Directory resources to persistent attacker access until the password is changed.
AD user account with DES encryption type enabled
Active Directory user accounts using outdated DES encryption type are exposed to brute-force attacks, allowing unauthorized access.
Privileged AD object with permissions allowing takeover by regular user
A privileged Active Directory object with misconfigured permissions allows regular users to take control, exposing sensitive resources and escalating privileges.
AD domain controller with enabled print spooler
A domain controller with enabled print spooler exposes domain credentials to remote connections, enabling attackers to compromise the domain controller or other systems through Kerberos authentication attacks.
AD domain account with unconstrained delegation
An AD domain account with unconstrained delegation exposes service credentials for unauthorized access, enabling attackers to escalate privileges.
Built-in domain Administrator account used recently
Built-in domain Administrator account usage indicates potential unauthorized access to high-privilege credentials, exposing the organization to attack paths through administrative scope and credential misuse.
DNS zone allowing unsecure update
A DNS zone allowing unsecure update enables attackers to modify records without authentication, exposing users to malicious servers via DNS spoofing and cache poisoning.
AD computer account that is a member of privileged groups
A compromised AD computer account in a privileged group enables persistent lateral movement within the domain.
AD Domain Controller with non-admin owner
A non-administrator owning an AD Domain Controller poses a significant risk due to potential privilege escalation through unauthorized group membership, exposing attack paths and administrative scope.
