Admin in 60 seconds: set Host: localhost, rerun setup, mint a native admin, then flip the AV “executable path” to your script → SYSTEM. That’s the UNC6485 play—cheap VPS, quick RMM drop, reverse RDP over 443, renamed tools in C:\Windows\Temp / appcompat.
Patches exist (16.7.10368.56560), but exposed boxes are still dragging their feet. Our 6-month read: access-broker standardization + copycats (55–70%) as other “AV runner” admin UIs get abused; identity pivots (40–55%) follow with scheduled reseeds after eviction. ⚠️
Which buys you more time today—patching now, egress rules for 443 relays, or killing AV-path writes in the UI?
