Active Directory Domain Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability (CVE-2025-21293)
In September of 2024 while on a customer assigment I encountered the “Network Configuration Operators” group, a so called builtin group of Active Directory (default). As I had never heard of or encountered this group membership before, it sprung to eye immediately. Initially I tried to look up if it had any security implications, like its more known colleagues DNS Admins and Backup Operators, but to no avail. Surpisingly little came up about the group but I couldn’t help myself from probing further. This led me down the rabbithole of Registry Database access control lists and possibilities of weaponization, culminating with the discovery of CVE-2025-21293. Before we move along to the body of work, I have to give out a special thanks to Clément Labro, who initially did the heavy lifting of finding a way to weaponize performancecounters. (This will hopefully make more sense by the end of the article) and my colleagues at ReTest Security ApS, who have provided me with knowledge in the field and the oppertunity to put it to use.

U.S. Government Disclosed 39 Zero-Day Vulnerabilities in 2023, Per First-Ever Report
In a first-of-its-kind report, the US government has revealed that it disclosed 39 zero-day software vulnerabilities to vendors or the public in 2023 for the purpose of getting the vulnerabilities patched or mitigated, as opposed to retaining them to use in hacking operations. It’s the first time the government has revealed specific numbers about its controversial Vulnerabilities Equities Process (VEP) — the process it uses to adjudicate decisions about whether zero-day vulnerabilities it discovers should be kept secret so law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and the military can exploit them in hacking operations or be disclosed to vendors to fix them. Zero-day vulnerabilities are security holes in software that are unknown to the software maker and are therefore unpatched at the time of discovery, making systems that use the software at risk of being hacked by anyone who discovers the flaw.
Kimsuky hackers use new custom RDP Wrapper for remote access

Habib Mohammadi reports: A group of unidentified hackers has breached the Taliban’s databases, leaking documents from 21 ministries and government agencies, some of which appear to be classified, according to reports circulating online. The leaked files reportedly include documents from the Taliban-controlled ministries of finance, justice, foreign affairs, information and culture, telecommunications, and mining, as well as the Supreme Court and the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. The hackers have published hundreds of these documents on a website called “Talibleaks.”
Code injection attacks using publicly disclosed ASP.NET machine keys
Microsoft Threat Intelligence observed limited activity by an unattributed threat actor using a publicly available, static ASP.NET machine key to inject malicious code and deliver the Godzilla post-exploitation framework. In the course of investigating, remediating, and building protections against this activity, we observed an insecure practice whereby developers have incorporated various publicly disclosed ASP.NET machine keys from publicly accessible resources, such as code documentation and repositories, which threat actors have used to launch ViewState code injection attacks and perform malicious actions on target servers.
