The publicly disclosed zero-day is:
CVE-2025-53779 – Windows Kerberos Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Microsoft has fixed a Windows Kerberos flaw that lets authenticated attackers obtain domain administrator privileges.
“Relative path traversal in Windows Kerberos allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network,” explains Microsoft.
Microsoft says that an attacker would need to have elevated access to the following dMSA attributes to exploit the flaw:
msds-groupMSAMembership: This attribute allows the user to utilize the dMSA.
msds-ManagedAccountPrecededByLink: The attacker needs write access to this attribute, which allows them to specify a user that the dMSA can act on behalf of.
