DescriptionCVE.org

A potential out-of-bounds write vulnerability could allow a local privileged attacker to modify power management settings in System Management Mode.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds write in Lenovo BIOS firmware across dozens of consumer and gaming laptop models enables a local privileged attacker to corrupt power management settings within System Management Mode, a CPU execution context operating below the OS kernel at Ring -2. Successful exploitation could allow persistent firmware-level tampering that survives OS reinstalls and reboots. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Gain local admin/root on target Lenovo laptop
Delivery
Identify affected BIOS model from CPE list
Exploit

Execution
Trigger out-of-bounds write in SMRAM
Persist
Corrupt power management settings or SMM handler code
Impact
Achieve persistent below-OS execution surviving reboots

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local access to the affected device with high OS-level privileges (administrator on Windows or root on Linux), as confirmed by CVSS 4.0 AV:L and PR:H. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.8 with vector AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N accurately captures the risk profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has already compromised a target Lenovo laptop with administrator or root-level OS privileges executes a crafted payload that interfaces with the BIOS power management SMM handler, triggering an out-of-bounds write that corrupts SMRAM contents. By manipulating SMM execution flow, the attacker installs a persistent firmware-level implant that survives full OS reinstallation and cannot be detected or removed by OS-layer security tools. …
Remediation The primary fix is to apply updated BIOS firmware from Lenovo for each affected model; exact patched firmware version numbers must be retrieved per-device from the Lenovo product security advisory at https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/product_security/LEN-220440, as versions differ across the extensive model list. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
