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-2018-12205 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-2018-12205/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12205/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-12205","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12205/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-12205","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9x39-g9g5-p55p","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-12205"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Core firmware","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Improper certificate validation in Intel Core firmware allows unauthenticated users with physical access to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"platform_sample_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"silicon_reference_firmware","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"}],"description":"Improper certificate validation in Platform Sample/ Silicon Reference firmware for 8th Generation Intel(R) Core(tm) Processor, 7th Generation Intel(R) Core(tm) Processor may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via physical 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":"Security feature bypass in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12205","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in Intel QuickAssist Technology for Linux","id":"CVE-2018-12206"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12204"},"products":["Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware"],"published":"2019-03-14","related":[{"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"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel Platform Sample / Silicon Reference firmware","id":"CVE-2018-12204","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":"Improper certificate validation in Intel Core firmware allows unauthenticated users with physical access to escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12205/"}
