digest authentication

About this tag
Digest authentication is a challenge-response authentication mechanism used in web protocols and Windows systems. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight critical vulnerabilities in Microsoft's Digest Authentication implementation, including CVE-2025-21369, CVE-2025-21368, and CVE-2025-21294, which can lead to remote code execution. Additionally, a replay flaw in libsoup's server-side Digest authentication (CVE-2026-3099) allows authentication bypass by reusing captured headers. These issues underscore the importance of patching and monitoring Digest authentication configurations, especially in IIS and Windows Server environments where it is commonly deployed. Administrators should prioritize updates and enforce nonce-count validation to mitigate risks.
