Overview

In the default configuration of Active Directory, it is possible to remotely take over Workstations (Windows 7/10/11) and possibly servers (if Desktop Experience is installed) when their WebClient service is running. This is accomplished in short by;

• Triggering machine authentication over HTTP via either MS-RPRN or MS-EFSRPC (as demonstrated by @tifkin_). This requires a set of credentials for the RPC call.
• Relaying that machine authentication to LDAPS for configuring RBCD
• RBCD takeover

The caveat to this is that the WebClient service does not automatically start at boot. However, if the WebClient service has been triggered to start on a workstation (for example, via some SharePoint interactions), you can remotely take over that system. In addition, there are several ways to coerce the WebClient service to start remotely which I cover in a section below.

Certifried combined with KrbRelayUp

Certifried (CVE-2022-26923) gives Domain Admin from non-privileged user with the requirement adding computer accounts or owning a computer account. Kerberos Relay targeting LDAP and Shadow Credentials gives a non-privileged domain user on a domain-joined machine local admin access on (aka owning) the machine. Combination of these two: non-privileged domain user escalating to Domain Admin without the requirement adding/owning computer accounts.

The attack below uses only Windows (no Linux tools interacting with the Domain), simulating a real-world attack scenario.
