Authenticated code execution via Digest buffer overflow

Published Feb 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 13, 2026

Remote code execution in Microsoft Digest Authentication on affected Windows releases allows remote authenticated users to run code. Microsoft maps the flaw to integer wraparound and a heap buffer overflow but has not disclosed the parsing locus or malformed field. Exploitation requires a malicious logon request to a target domain controller; successful execution can compromise the host.
