Abusing ACL Permissions

Abusing ACL permissions exploits misconfigured access control entries on Active Directory objects to escalate privileges by modifying group memberships, resetting passwords, taking ownership, or granting new permissions. This lesson explains what makes these permissions abusable, what preconditions matter, what the attacker gains, and how to communicate ACL-based findings clearly in interviews, reports, and stakeholder conversations.
