CVE-2024-24278Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Credential hash disclosure via automatic UNC resolution

Published Mar 5, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2024

Improper UNC path handling in Teamwire Windows desktop client 2.0.1 through 2.4.0 allows attackers to capture Windows credential hashes. When pasted message text matches a UNC path, the client resolves it immediately and initiates SMB authentication with the current Windows logon credentials before displaying the text. Exploitation requires a user to paste attacker-controlled text and network reachability to an attacker-controlled SMB endpoint; the resulting authentication material can be captured or redirected.
