An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) improperly handles multi-factor authentication requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could bypass some, but not all, of the authentication factors. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker could send a specially crafted authentication request. This security update corrects how ADFS handles multi-factor authentication requests.
With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
