ManageEngine ADManager Plus Vulnerability: When Technicians Play Admin!

ManageEngine ADManager Plus Build < 7210 has a hilarious twist—technician users can elevate their privileges from Domain User to Domain Admin faster than you can say "Kerberos." By exploiting the Modify Computers role, they can access services like CIFS, LDAP, and HOST, causing chaos in the Organizational Unit. Who knew computer management could be so… empowering?

Hot Take:

In a shocking twist of fate, ManageEngine’s ADManager Plus is like that friend who swears they’ve got your back, but ends up leaving the door open for mischief-makers. Who knew a “Modify Computers” role could turn a technician into a virtual king of the digital jungle? It’s the ultimate plot twist where the sidekick becomes the hero – or the villain, depending on your perspective!

Key Points:

  • ManageEngine ADManager Plus suffers from an elevation of privilege vulnerability in builds earlier than 7210.
  • The vulnerability allows users with the “Modify Computers” role to change critical Active Directory attributes.
  • This can lead to unauthorized access through Constrained and Unconstrained Kerberos Delegation.
  • The issue arises from improper authorization and unrestricted attribute modification.
  • Technician users can elevate their privileges to Domain Admin, posing a significant security risk.
