HIGH 8.9

DescriptionCVE.org

Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) Data Center Attestation Primitives (Intel(R) DCAP) may allow information disclosure. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (high) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

AnalysisAI

Protection mechanism failure in Intel Data Center Attestation Primitives (Intel DCAP) enables unauthenticated network-based attackers with specialized internal knowledge to undermine the integrity of the attestation system and expose confidential data from downstream systems relying on SGX enclave verification. The vulnerability (CWE-693) is particularly impactful in confidential computing environments where DCAP serves as the trust anchor for SGX workload isolation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network access to an Intel DCAP service endpoint and 'special internal knowledge' of the attestation system's internal protocol structures or collateral formats, captured by the CVSS 4.0 AT:P (attack requirements present) metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.9 reflects a serious vulnerability: network-reachable, no privileges required, no user interaction, with high integrity impact on the vulnerable DCAP system and high confidentiality impact on subsequent systems - such as workloads or relying parties trusting the attestation result. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Consult Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-01449 at https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01449.html for the specific patched version of Intel DCAP and apply the vendor-released update as soon as it is validated in your environment. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, conduct a comprehensive inventory of all systems and applications using Intel DCAP, prioritizing production confidential computing workloads by data sensitivity. …
