Group Policy Preferences (GPP) Password Extraction

T1552.006 · MITRE ATT&CK

Find Group Policy Preferences (GPP) XML files in a domain controller's SYSVOL share that contain a cpassword attribute, then recover the stored credential using Microsoft's publicly documented static AES key. In default Active Directory deployments SYSVOL is commonly readable by authenticated domain users, but actual access depends on the share and file permissions and SMB reachability. GPP credentials may belong to local accounts, services, scheduled tasks, or other preference settings.
