Windows Defender Credential Guard Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability

The Windows 11 installation on the remote host is missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A session spoofing vulnerability exists. An attacker can     exploit this to perform actions with the privileges of     another user. (CVE-2022-21836)

  - A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to bypass authentication and execute     unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2022-21849,     CVE-2022-21850, CVE-2022-21851, CVE-2022-21874,     CVE-2022-21888, CVE-2022-21892, CVE-2022-21893,     CVE-2022-21907, CVE-2022-21922, CVE-2022-21928,     CVE-2022-21958, CVE-2022-21959, CVE-2022-21960,     CVE-2022-21961, CVE-2022-21962, CVE-2022-21963)

  - A security feature bypass vulnerability exists. An     attacker can exploit this and bypass the security     feature and perform unauthorized actions compromising     the integrity of the system/application.
    (CVE-2022-21894, CVE-2022-21900, CVE-2022-21905,     CVE-2022-21906, CVE-2022-21913, CVE-2022-21921,     CVE-2022-21924, CVE-2022-21925)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to disclose potentially sensitive     information. (CVE-2022-21876, CVE-2022-21877,     CVE-2022-21880, CVE-2022-21915)

  - An elevation of privilege vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this to gain elevated privileges.

  - A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. An attacker can     exploit this issue to cause the affected component to     deny system or application services. (CVE-2022-21843,     CVE-2022-21847, CVE-2022-21848, CVE-2022-21883,     CVE-2022-21889, CVE-2022-21890, CVE-2022-21918)
