It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2020-12333 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-12333 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) QAT for Linux, published on 12 Nov 2020. 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-2020-12333 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) QAT for Linux. 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-2020-12333/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-12333/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-12333","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-12333/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-12333","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qcqx-jwr9-v42m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel QAT Linux driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to insufficiently protected credentials in the Intel QAT for Linux driver.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"quickassist_technology","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"Insufficiently protected credentials in the Intel(R) QAT for Linux before version 1.7.l.4.10.0 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable 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":null,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Intel(R) QAT for Linux","id":"CVE-2020-12333","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Advisor tools","id":"CVE-2020-12334"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) HID Event Filter Driver","id":"CVE-2020-12332"},"products":["Intel(R) QAT for Linux"],"published":"2020-11-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) QAT software drivers for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-20714","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) QAT software drivers for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-20767","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel QAT Driver for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-21804","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) QAT drivers for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-41699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) QAT drivers for Windows - HW Version 1.0","id":"CVE-2023-28741","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-14"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) QAT Windows software","id":"CVE-2025-27713","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-11"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to insufficiently protected credentials in the Intel QAT for Linux driver.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-12333/"}
