About this tag
The tag 'authenticated attack' covers vulnerabilities that require the attacker to be an authenticated user on the target system or network. Examples include CVE-2025-53771, a SharePoint Server path traversal and spoofing flaw; CVE-2025-47978, a Windows Kerberos denial-of-service vulnerability; CVE-2025-33073, a reflective Kerberos relay attack for privilege escalation; and older bulletins like MS15-072 and MS11-013, which involve elevation of privilege via graphics component or Kerberos. These threats typically allow remote or local authenticated attackers to cause service disruption, spoofing, or privilege escalation. Understanding authenticated attack vectors is crucial for securing enterprise environments against authorized-user threats.
