You've discovered that the compromised user holds directory-level privileges. Enumerate how this role can be abused to compromise another user in the directory. What is the Job Title attribute of the compromised target user?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

Detailed Solution:

As the second compromised user, enumerate directory users:

az ad user list --output table

Use a cleaner query to show names, UPNs, and job titles:

az ad user list

--query '[].{DisplayName:displayName,UPN:userPrincipalName,JobTitle:jobTitle}'

--output table

You should identify a target user whose profile contains a flag in the jobTitle attribute.

The important target is:

lila.nguyen@azuresecops.onmicrosoft.com

Her jobTitle field contains:

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

Because the compromised user has User Administrator, you can reset this target user's password and later authenticate as her.

Final Answer:

Flag{92c8bfe4a73f48a6bd94e62fca2179dd}

I think it depends on the directory setup, though.

Wait, how can they just access that info? Seems too easy.

Directory-level privileges can grant access to sensitive user data.

I vaguely recall that the Job Title attribute might be used to impersonate someone or gain trust. I hope I can remember the exact steps to enumerate that information during the exam.

I think if the compromised user can change attributes, they could potentially escalate privileges for another account. But I'm a bit confused about how to find the Job Title attribute specifically.

This reminds me of a practice question where we had to identify risks associated with user roles. I think the Job Title attribute could be important for social engineering attacks.

I remember we discussed how directory-level privileges could allow a user to modify permissions for others, but I'm not sure how that directly leads to compromising another user.
