Здравствуйте!
Comrades, in this post, I will briefly share with you the security risks posed by a successful Active Directory Privilege Escalation attack on an Active Directory based Windows deployment.
To understand the security risk associated with a malicious insider successfully launching an Active Directory Privilege Escalation attack it is best to ask one question -
Q. What is the impact of the compromise of a Domain/Enterprise Admin account?
The answer to that question will give you the answer to the security risk associated with this attack.
Basically, if someone is able to successfully carry out an Active Directory Security Privilege Escalation based attack in your environment, in worst case scenario ...
... all your organization's IT resources could be compromised, all your corporate identities stolen, all your data divulged, and your entire Microsoft Windows Server IT infrastructure, debilitated.
That's because, a Domain Admin has full-control over the entire system, and with the help of automation, could easily compromise the security of all domain-joined systems, all the data stored on them, all the identities in the Active Directory, all applications that rely on Active Directory, and all systems that rely on Kerberos for authentication and authorization. Of course, company-wide email, Intranet connectivity, Internet connectivity and access to data can also all be taken out.
This is a very serious security risk and its consequences can be catastrophic.
