&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ESC8&lt;/strong&gt; is an AD CS vulnerability where the Certificate Enrollment Web Service is enabled over &lt;strong&gt;HTTP&lt;/strong&gt; (without HTTPS). This allows intercepting a Domain Controller&amp;rsquo;s authentication and relaying it to the CA to request a certificate. With that certificate we can impersonate the DC, perform DCSync, and take full control of the domain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="requirements"&gt;Requirements&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Valid domain user credentials (&lt;code&gt;Rosie.Powell:Cicada123&lt;/code&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The CA has Web Enrollment over HTTP enabled&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NTLM disabled in the domain (authentication must use Kerberos)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Machine Account Quota &amp;gt; 0 (allows adding DNS records, default is 10)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ensure correct DNS resolution in &lt;code&gt;/etc/hosts&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
