Tens of thousands of Microsoft Exchange servers are vulnerable to a flaw that is already being abused in the wild, experts have warned.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-21410, is a privilege escalation flaw that allows threat actors to perform NTLM relay attacks on Microsoft Exchange Servers and escalate their privileges on the target endpoint. As a result, they could steal sensitive information and confidential data being shared via email, or could use the access as a stepping stone for more devastating attacks.
