AD CS Certificate Template Management

Created
05/22/2023

Description

This module can create, read, update, and delete AD CS certificate templates from a Active Directory Domain Controller. The READ, UPDATE, and DELETE actions will write a copy of the certificate template to disk that can be restored using the CREATE or UPDATE actions. The CREATE and UPDATE actions require a certificate template data file to be specified to define the attributes. Template data files are provided to create a template that is vulnerable to ESC1, ESC2, and ESC3. This module is capable of exploiting ESC4.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
