LowCVSS 3.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Elevated risk63th percentile - higher than 63% of all known CVEs
Summary
Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor in Windows NTLM allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing locally. The vulnerability affects the NTLM mechanism in Windows.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with local access could exploit the vulnerability to spoof and obtain sensitive information, potentially leading to privilege escalation or further attacks within the network.
Recommendation
Apply security updates provided by Microsoft for Windows. Additionally, consider implementing measures to restrict NTLM usage, such as enforcing Kerberos.
