CVE-2026-12962Network attack vector

NTLM hash disclosure via permissive cross-domain policy

Published Sep 8, 2026 · Updated Sep 8, 2026

CWE-942 in ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Armoury Crate 6.5.7.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain a local user's NTLM hash. The local service endpoint accepts a cross-origin request carrying an attacker-controlled UNC path, causing Windows to attempt NTLM authentication to that path. Exploitation requires the local user to visit a crafted web page; the resulting outbound authentication exposes the user's NTLM hash.
