Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Intel NUC versions (affected versions not specified) Intel NUC Kit versions (affected versions not specified) Intel Compute Stick versions (affected versions not specified) Intel Compute Card versions (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to improper access control in the firmware of Intel products, which may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. This is due to deficiencies in access control. Exploitation of the issue could allow an attacker to elevate their privileges.

Recommendations For Intel NUC, consider restricting local access until a fix is available. For Intel NUC Kit, restrict local access to minimize the risk of exploitation. For Intel Compute Stick, avoid providing local access to unauthorized users until the issue is resolved. For Intel Compute Card, limit local access to reduce the risk of privilege escalation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
