Authenticated privilege escalation via undisclosed authentication flaw
Published May 12, 2022 · Updated May 5, 2025
Improper authentication in Intel In-Band Manageability before 2.13.0 allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges over a network. Intel has not published the affected component or the incorrect authentication operation that accepts the privileged user's network action. Exploitation requires high existing privileges and grants elevated control capable of reading or altering managed data or interrupting operations.
