Privileged data disclosure via transient execution
Published Feb 10, 2026 · Updated Feb 10, 2026
Transient-execution exposure in Intel TDX Module 1.5.20 and earlier and 2.0.12 and earlier allows local users to read protected data. The Ring 0 hypervisor context transiently exposes sensitive data, but Intel has not disclosed the triggering instruction sequence or data source. Exploitation requires hypervisor-level privileges and high complexity, needs no user interaction, and has no reported integrity or availability impact.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
