CVE-2026-20753 May 12, 16:34 HIGH This Week

Escalation of privilege in Intel's Slim Bootloader UEFI firmware allows a privileged local adversary to trigger an integer overflow (CWE-190) and execute code within the firmware/boot context. Exploitation requires existing high privileges and local access with a specific attack requirement present, but a successful attack fully compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of both the vulnerable firmware and the subsequent system. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is negligible (0.01%), consistent with SSVC exploitation status of 'none'.
