About this tag
The endpoint trust tag on WindowsForum covers discussions about Windows RPC endpoint spoofing and privilege escalation, as highlighted by the PhantomRPC research from Kaspersky. This vulnerability exploits the way Windows allows unrelated processes to access privileged RPC endpoints without verifying server authenticity, enabling local privilege escalation to SYSTEM via SeImpersonatePrivilege. The tag focuses on architectural security risks in Windows RPC, endpoint verification, and mitigation strategies for enterprise IT environments.
