7.5 · HIGH
Published Nov 11, 2022 intel CWE-20 EPSS 0.18% (7th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2022-38099 is a high-severity vulnerability affecting intel nuc_11_compute_element_cm11ebi38w_firmware. It was published on November 11, 2022 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (HIGH).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5, rated HIGH. It requires local or adjacent network access to exploit. Some level of privileges is required for exploitation.

Technical Description

Improper input validation in BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) NUC 11 Compute Elements before version EBTGL357.0065 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from intel. Update nuc_11_compute_element_cm11ebi38w_firmware to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
