Insecure inherited permissions in firmware update tool for some Intel(R) NUCs may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
AnalysisAI
Insecure inherited permissions in firmware update tool for some Intel(R) NUCs may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Incorrect Permission Assignment (CWE-732), which allows attackers to access resources due to misconfigured permissions. Insecure inherited permissions in firmware update tool for some Intel(R) NUCs may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. Affected products include: Intel Nuc 8 Mainstream-G Kit Nuc8I5Inh Firmware, Intel Nuc 8 Mainstream-G Kit Nuc8I7Inh Firmware, Intel Nuc 8 Mainstream-G Mini Pc Nuc8I5Inh Firmware, Intel Nuc 8 Mainstream-G Mini Pc Nuc8I7Inh Firmware, Intel Nuc 8 Pro Board Nuc8I3Pnb Firmware.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Review and restrict file/resource permissions, apply principle of least privilege.
