CVE-2020-1472
Overview
This vulnerability is an elevation of privilege flaw rooted in improper authentication handling within the Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC). The root cause lies in the insecure establishment of Netlogon secure channel connections to domain controllers, where cryptographic authentication enforcement is bypassed. The affected component is the Netlogon service in Microsoft Windows Server versions including 2004, which incorrectly validates secure channel requests, enabling unauthorized privileged access.
Vulnerability Description
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when an attacker establishes a vulnerable Netlogon secure channel connection to a domain controller, using the Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC). An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run a specially crafted application on a device on the network. To exploit the vulnerability, an unauthenticated attacker would be required to use MS-NRPC to connect to a domain controller to obtain domain administrator access. Microsoft is addressing the vulnerability in a phased two-part rollout. These updates address the vulnerability by modifying how Netlogon handles the usage of Netlogon secure channels. For guidelines on how to manage the changes required for this vulnerability and more information on the phased rollout, see How to manage the changes in Netlogon secure channel connections associated with CVE-2020-1472 (updated September 28, 2020). When the second phase of Windows updates become available in Q1 2021, customers will be notified via a revision to this security vulnerability. If you wish to be notified when these updates are released, we recommend that you register for the security notifications mailer to be alerted of content changes to this advisory. See Microsoft Technical Security Notifications.
Impact
An attacker with network access to a domain controller can exploit this vulnerability without prior authentication or user interaction to gain domain administrator privileges. This enables full control over Active Directory, allowing unauthorized access to sensitive data, creation or modification of accounts, and lateral movement across the network. The elevated privileges undermine domain security, potentially resulting in widespread compromise of enterprise infrastructure and critical systems.
Solution
Microsoft has issued a phased two-part update to address this vulnerability by modifying Netlogon secure channel authentication enforcement. Customers running affected Windows Server versions, including 2004, should apply the security updates as outlined in the Microsoft security advisory available at https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-US/security-guidance/advisory/CVE-2020-1472. Administrators should follow the guidance on managing Netlogon secure channel connection changes and register for Microsoft Technical Security Notifications to receive update release alerts.
