Microsoft Office Vulnerability: When URIs Go Rogue!
Beware the Microsoft Office NTLMv2 disclosure vulnerability! With just two clicks and a crafty DNS trick, your NTLMv2 hash could be captured faster than you can say “Office mishap.” It’s the cybersecurity equivalent of leaving your front door open while shouting your passwords into the street.
Hot Take:
Microsoft Office: Now with a side of espionage! Who knew that opening a Word document could be a gateway to an NTLMv2 hash heist? It seems like Microsoft Office has taken “working remotely” to a whole new level by letting hackers fetch your credentials from afar. Time to rethink those PowerPoint slides—unless you want your office antics exposed!
Key Points:
- Microsoft Office vulnerability allows NTLMv2 hash capture.
- Exploit uses MS Office URI schemes to fetch documents remotely.
- Simple DNS record manipulation facilitates the attack.
- Attack can escalate privileges with standard user settings.
- Proof of concept demonstrates potential for domain control takeover.
