CVE-2026-20709 Apr 08, 18:20 MEDIUM This Month

Use of a default cryptographic key in Intel Pentium Processor Silver Series, Celeron Processor J Series, and Celeron Processor N Series hardware allows privilege escalation when a hardware reverse engineer with privileged user access performs a high-complexity physical attack with special internal knowledge. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.8 with physical attack vector (AV:P) and high attack complexity (AC:H), requiring privileged access (PR:H) and special attack time requirements (AT:P). No public exploit code or active CISA KEV designation has been identified.
