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-2019-18216 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2019-18216/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-18216/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-18216","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-18216/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-18216","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j988-q3vx-6wph"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ASUS laptop BIOS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers with physical access can bypass USB boot restrictions by draining the main battery, allowing unauthorized hard drive access via live USB.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"rog_zephyrus_m_gm501gs_firmware","vendor":"asus"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The BIOS configuration design on ASUS ROG Zephyrus M GM501GS laptops with BIOS 313 relies on the main battery instead of using a CMOS battery, which reduces the value of a protection mechanism in which booting from a USB device is prohibited.
