## Description:
Microsoft SharePoint Central Administration improperly exposes
NTLM-authenticated endpoints to low-privileged or even brute-forced domain
accounts. Once authenticated, an attacker can access the `_api/web`
endpoint, disclosing rich metadata about the SharePoint site, including
user group relationships, workflow configurations, and file system
structures. The vulnerability enables username and password enumeration,
internal structure mapping, and API abuse.
Key issues include:
- NTLM over HTTP (unencrypted)
- No fine-grained access control on `_api/web`
- NTLM error codes act as oracles for credential validation
STATUS: HIGH-CRITICAL Vulnerability
