It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-12204 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12204/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12204/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-12204","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12204/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-12204","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xg6v-vr2f-h5xx","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-12204"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Server Firmware","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local privileged user can escalate privileges due to improper memory initialization in Intel server firmware.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"platform_sample_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"silicon_reference_firmware","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-665","name":"Improper Initialization"}],"description":"Improper memory initialization in Platform Sample/Silicon Reference firmware Intel(R) Server Board, Intel(R) Server System and Intel(R) Compute Module may allow privileged user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12204","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12205"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12203"},"products":["Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware"],"published":"2019-03-14","related":[{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12205","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-14"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12201","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-14"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12202","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-14"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Denial of service in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12203","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Intel Corporation"]},"summary":"A local privileged user can escalate privileges due to improper memory initialization in Intel server firmware.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12204/"}
