Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added collection of RPC encryption enforcement status for Enterprise Certificate Authorities.
  • Added a reportable indicator showing whether RPC encryption enforcement data was collected. This distinguishes an available result from data that was not collected, without implying that the status is displayed in the interface.

Walkthrough

Enterprise CA registry processing now collects RPC encryption enforcement, stores the result in CARegistryData, tracks whether collection succeeded, and exposes rpcencryptioncollected.

Changes

Enterprise CA collection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
RPC encryption collection status src/Runtime/ObjectProcessors.cs	Enterprise CA processing retrieves RPC encryption enforcement, stores the result in CARegistryData, tracks its Collected flag, and publishes rpcencryptioncollected.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: definitelynotagoblin

Merge Risk: High · up to 4187e

The change cannot build against the currently referenced SharpHoundCommon package, so it cannot ship until the matching library release is published and referenced. Two further open issues could drop domain controller data from output or abort NTLM registry collection for some computers.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 4187e

The new value uses the existing CA registry collection path and preserves separate collection-status reporting. No introduced vulnerability was established, but the companion library’s failure handling and downstream compatibility remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The visible expansion is one additional collection operation per eligible EnterpriseCA and an additional security-data field and status in its output. The caller does not introduce another target source or credential source, but the external method’s effective privileges, remote operations, and downstream inheritance are not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — CA directory attributes supply the target name and hostname. Host-to-SID resolution is attempted, but failure logs a warning rather than blocking registry collection. This behavior already existed in the base; the PR adds a query behind that same boundary. Identity enforcement inside the new external query remains unverified.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The local publication path does not emit a partially constructed EnterpriseCA after a processing exception, limiting inconsistent partial output. Conversely, an escaping failure from the added operation could suppress previously collectible CA security evidence. No such failure was demonstrated, and external retry, cleanup, concurrency, and recovery behavior remain outside verified coverage.

🟠 Major · Await ProcessDomainController before returning the computer. · ObjectProcessors.cs:449-451

src/Runtime/ObjectProcessors.cs:449-451
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Await ProcessDomainController before returning the computer.

ProcessComputerObject invokes the async void method without awaiting it. When Throttle is non-zero, _context.DoDelay() suspends before ret.DCRegistryData is assigned. The computer can then reach OutputWriter before the continuation runs, so VulnerableNetlogonSecurityDescriptor can be absent from JSON output. The default Throttle of zero avoids this specific delay, but the supported non-zero configuration remains affected.

Change the method to return Task and await it:

🐛 Proposed fix

-        private async void ProcessDomainController(ResolvedSearchResult resolvedSearchResult, Computer ret,
+        private async Task ProcessDomainController(ResolvedSearchResult resolvedSearchResult, Computer ret,
             string apiName) {

At the call site:

-            if (resolvedSearchResult.IsDomainController)
-                ProcessDomainController(resolvedSearchResult, ret, apiName);
+            if (resolvedSearchResult.IsDomainController)
+                await ProcessDomainController(resolvedSearchResult, ret, apiName);

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a non-null key for the registry processor map.

LdapUtils.ResolveSearchResult sets DomainSid to null when domain SID resolution fails, then returns the result. LDAPConsumer still passes that result to ProcessObject. When NTLMRegistry is enabled, _registryProcessorMap.GetOrAdd receives the null key and throws ArgumentNullException, which aborts processing for that computer.

                 var processor = _registryProcessorMap.GetOrAdd(
-                    resolvedSearchResult.DomainSid,

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Write one final status for the CA registry task.

ProcessEnterpriseCA writes a ComputerStatus.Success record with the hosting computer SID before the awaited registry reads, including IsRPCEncryptionEnforced. A later read failure can therefore leave a Success record for an incomplete collection. The CertServices branch also writes a Success record for the same Task with resolvedSearchResult.ObjectId, so status consumers receive two rows with different identities.

Emit the status after the registry results are populated, report the collected result, and use one consistent ObjectId for ProcessEnterpriseCA.

The build fails on this line. Pin a SharpHoundCommon version that contains the new API.

The build check reports that CertAbuseProcessor has no IsRPCEncryptionEnforced member and CARegistryData has no RPCEncryptionEnforced member. The PR description states that this change corresponds with SharpHoundCommon PR 239, so the required members only exist in that unmerged branch. Merge and publish the SharpHoundCommon change first, then update _ResolvedCommonVersion in this repository so CI resolves a package that contains both members.
