🔍 Active Directory Security Audit – Key Findings Our experienced pentester, Jarosław Jahrek Kamiński, recently conducted an Active Directory security audit, uncovering several misconfigurations that could pose serious risks to an organization’s IT environment. Securing Active Directory is crucial, as it is widely used by companies and often a primary target during attacks on corporate infrastructure. A compromised AD can lead to privilege escalation, unauthorized access, and even full domain takeover. One of the more concerning findings? Any user within the "Domain Users" group could log into RDP services on multiple workstations—a potential gateway for unauthorized access and privilege escalation. Among other security gaps identified: ⚠️ Unconstrained delegation enabled on workstations ⚠️ A high number of administrative accounts, increasing the attack surface ⚠️ GPO misconfigurations that could lead to domain takeover ⚠️ Users with DCSync privileges on the AD controller Each of these misconfigurations, if left unaddressed, could be exploited by attackers to for example escalate privileges, move laterally, or compromise the entire domain. We break down all findings and mitigation strategies in detail in our latest article.
