CMPivot Tool Exploited for SMB Authentication Coercion

/ 1 min read

🔍 CMPivot Exploitation: Coercing SMB Authentication from SCCM Clients. A recent analysis highlights how CMPivot, a tool within the Configuration Manager framework, can be leveraged for offensive operations beyond its intended data collection capabilities. By utilizing specific queries, attackers can coerce SMB authentication from SCCM client hosts, potentially allowing for lateral movement within Active Directory environments. The process involves executing PowerShell scripts that can read file contents, including those located at UNC paths, while operating under high-level system privileges. This technique could enable low-privilege users to escalate their access if they possess the right security roles. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding these vulnerabilities to enhance security measures in ConfigMgr environments.
