Privilege escalation for local low-privilege users
Published Apr 15, 2022 · Updated Jan 2, 2025
Elevation of privilege in Microsoft Windows Kerberos allows local users with low privileges to obtain elevated system privileges. Microsoft has not published the affected Kerberos code path or the operation that mishandles attacker-controlled input. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access, and the available record does not identify the resulting privilege level or concrete post-exploitation actions.
