TokenSmith – Bypassing Intune Compliant Device Conditional Access

Conditional Access Policies (CAPs) are the core of Entra ID’s perimeter defense for the vast majority of Enterprise Microsoft 365 (M365) and Azure environments. The core ideas of conditional access are: Require specific auth strength in scenarios where you wish to grant access Block access in undesirable scenarios If a scenario are neither covered by a or b, then the minimal auth strength (password) would be sufficient A special condition for CAP requirements is that authentication can be...

What’s in a Name? Writing custom DNS tunnelling protocol, exploiting unexpected AWS Lambda misconfiguration – in a web app Pen test (Part 2)

In Part 1 of the series we looked at how an AWS Lambda-powered feature was exploited in a web app penetration test initially leading to RCE and further on with out-of-band data exfiltration via DNS. Though the exact mechanism of achieving remote-code execution with Python was not discussed, we went in depth in how to return data as a result of the code being executed. Initially, with ascii-to-integer encoding I was able to find the username of the runtime user - sbx_userNNN. In the first blog...

What’s in a Name? Writing custom DNS tunnelling protocol, exploiting unexpected AWS Lambda misconfiguration – in a web app Pen test (Part 1)

This is a war story of an AWS web application test where remote code execution was first obtained on the client's application. Then I needed to write my own DNS tunnelling 'protocol' to get the data out. Following a number of twists and turns I impersonated the application and attempted to laterally move within the AWS tenant. Before storytelling though, let's start with a public service announcement: The Public Service Announcement As the title suggests, I discovered that it was possible to...
