Active Directory Spoofing Vulnerability
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 24/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.40% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.9060; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.9060; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.8644.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Windows 10 Version 1607 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.14393.9060; Windows 10 Version 1607 for x64-based Systems 10.0.14393.9060; Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems 10.0.17763.8644 or later.

Root cause
Authentication is added route by route instead of being enforced in one place. When a route added later bypasses the shared middleware, the session check never runs for it.
