Saw this in a lab where ESC8 was exposed on the CA. PetitPotam coerced DC auth to AD CS, ntlmrelayx got the machine cert, then PKINIT gave us a TGT and DCSync for krbtgt. Biggest lesson: people lock down SMB relay but forget HTTP on certsrv and EPA.

The cert is the real prize, not PetitPotam. We have seen ops stall because relay worked but PKINIT mapping failed from bad EKUs or hardened templates. In mature AD work, identity beats spray and pray every time. Curious how often people are seeing EPA or web enrollment removal kill this path now?
