Posture check · Group Policy
Group Policy preference stores a password (T1552.006)
A Group Policy preference item in SYSVOL stores an account password. GraphnAI recorded where it is, not the password.
Why it matters
Any authenticated domain user can read SYSVOL, and the key that decrypts these passwords is public. Treat the password as known.
How GraphnAI finds it
It runs after every sync, on each connected domain or tenant on its own. It applies to Active Directory.
It reads:
- The Group Policy files the Identity Bridge reads from SYSVOL
Tiered Fidelity™ level: Theoretical
Every finding from this check carries the Theoretical level.
- TheoreticalThis checkConfigured in the directory. Nothing else checked.
- ConstrainedA constraint on it has been checked.
- ValidatedTelemetry has seen it in use.
Why there's no automatic fix
GraphnAI can't edit Group Policy files. Delete the preference item or the leftover folder, then change the account's password.
How to fix it
Delete the preference item, or the leftover folder, then change the password of the account it names.
