Traditional scanners focus heavily on software versions, completely missing how identity exposures form active cross-domain highways. When networks contain cached credentials or unmonitored cloud access keys, adversaries do not break perimeters; they exploit legitimate permissions to advance sequentially across infrastructure boundaries.
This documentation maps 11 real-life intrusion stories uncovered inside live enterprise networks:
AI Tool Integration: Elevated Model Context Protocol (MCP) configurations chaining a workstation flaw (CVE-2025-6514) into a cloud database compromise.
The Token Paradox: Technical tracking of a single cached AWS key exposing 84 separate cloud workloads.
Cross-Domain Loops: On-premises Active Directory credentials harvesting tokens to compromise Intune administrator roles.
Directory Drift: Legacy configurations granting domain-wide ForceChangePassword rights from a single phishing foothold.
Attack Graph Analysis maps these token journeys to isolate the critical choke points that break the lateral movement highway.
