Credential Reuse - Windows Local Administrator Accounts
Category | CREDENTIALS |
Base Score | 9.0 |
Description
A local user credential from one Windows machine was re-used to access another Windows machine with local administrator privileges.
Impact
Attackers take advantage of credential reuse to move laterally from machine to machine within the environment. When the re-used credential is that of a local administrator, attackers can fully compromise many machines in the environment with a single credential in hand.
