# Windows LSA Spoofing Vulnerability

Windows Local Security Authority (LSA) can be coerced into spoofing, which makes a domain controller authenticate to an attacker using NTLM. The attacker can capture or relay those credentials to act as the domain controller's account.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._
