Credential disclosure via unchecked Kerberos encryption types
Published Aug 9, 2022 · Updated May 29, 2025
Information disclosure in Microsoft Windows Credential Guard allows local users to access protected Kerberos credentials. Kerberos Credential Guard APIs fail to validate a requested encryption type before using isolated keys, exposing key-derived output outside the protected environment. A low-privilege local session and running Credential Guard are required; the disclosed material compromises the signed-in user's credential protection.
