Researchers Uncovered an Active Directory DNS spoofing exploit

This vulnerability, resulting from exploiting DHCP DNS Dynamic Updates, opens the door for attackers to engage in the deceptive art of DNS record spoofing. Navigating the Vulnerability’s Landscape Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), the silent orchestrator of IP addresses and configurations in network devices, harbors a vulnerability in its feature set.  DHCP DNS Dynamic Updates, designed for automatic DNS record updates, becomes a double-edged sword when left unguarded.  The absence of authentication in this process allows any device on the network to masquerade as others, initiating a dangerous game of impersonation.
