Microsoft Windows SMB NTLM credentials code execution
| win-smb-ntlm-code-execution (46191) |  High Risk |
Description:
The Microsoft Windows Server Message Block (SMB) Protocol could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by improper handling of certain parameters during NTLM authentication. By persuading a victim to connect to a malicious SMB share, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on the system with the privileges of the victim.
