It took $58 to break Microsoft’s SCCM, but a patch made it harder

Summary

Researchers discovered a method to achieve remote code execution on Microsoft's SCCM by chaining multiple vulnerabilities, starting from a standard domain user. While Microsoft has patched one of the flaws (CVE-2026-47301), other elements of the attack chain, including path traversal and weak code-signing validation, are expected to be addressed later.
