ntlm spoofing

About this tag
NTLM spoofing is a class of Windows authentication vulnerabilities that allow attackers to relay or capture NTLM hashes, often leading to credential theft or unauthorized access. Recent threads on WindowsForum.com discuss several CVEs, including CVE-2026-21249, CVE-2025-59244, and CVE-2025-59185, which Microsoft has classified as NTLM spoofing issues. These vulnerabilities typically involve an attacker-controlled SMB server tricking a Windows client into initiating an NTLM authentication flow, thereby disclosing hash data. Enterprise IT and security professionals are advised to treat these CVEs with urgency, apply vendor patches promptly, and implement layered mitigations such as blocking outbound NTLM to untrusted servers. The discussions emphasize the ongoing risk posed by legacy NTLM in modern networks and the importance of staying current with Microsoft's security updates.
