Machine credential disclosure via RPC endpoint poisoning
Published Jul 8, 2025 · Updated Feb 13, 2026
Spoofing in Windows Storage allows remote authenticated users to disclose machine-account NTLM hashes through a rogue RPC endpoint. An unprivileged process races the delayed Storage Service, registers its RPC interface first, and makes Delivery Optimization trust a crafted network-share path returned by GetStorageDeviceInfo. Successful exploitation requires logon persistence and a reboot, then forces machine-account authentication to an attacker-controlled SMB server.
