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-2020-8705 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Boot Guard, Intel(R) CSME, Intel(R) TXE, Intel(R) SPS. 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-2020-8705/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8705/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8705","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8705/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8705","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xpc3-gf76-6g72"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Boot Guard firmware","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Insecure default initialization in Intel Boot Guard allows unauthenticated users with physical access to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"converged_security_and_manageability_engine","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"server_platform_services","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"trusted_execution_technology","vendor":"intel"}],"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":[{"id":"CWE-1188","name":"Initialization of a Resource with an Insecure Default"}],"description":"Insecure default initialization of resource in Intel(R) Boot Guard in Intel(R) CSME versions before 11.8.80, 11.12.80, 11.22.80, 12.0.70, 13.0.40, 13.30.10, 14.0.45 and 14.5.25, Intel(R) TXE versions before 3.1.80 and 4.0.30, Intel(R) SPS versions before E5_04.01.04.400, E3_04.01.04.200, SoC-X_04.00.04.200 and SoC-A_04.00.04.300 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privileges 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":null,"headline":"Misconfiguration in Intel(R) Boot Guard, Intel(R) CSME, Intel(R) TXE, Intel(R) SPS","id":"CVE-2020-8705","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"misconfiguration","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) Server Boards, Server Systems and Compute Modules Advisory","id":"CVE-2020-8706"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in a subsystem in the Intel(R) LMS versions before 2039.1.0.0 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of","id":"CVE-2020-8704"},"products":["Intel(R) Boot Guard, Intel(R) CSME, Intel(R) TXE, Intel(R) SPS"],"published":"2020-11-12","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) CSME, Intel TXE","id":"CVE-2020-12297","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Use after free in Intel(R) CSME, Intel(R) TXE","id":"CVE-2020-12303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-12"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) CSME versions","id":"CVE-2020-24516","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-09"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) CSME, Intel(R) TXE","id":"CVE-2020-8745","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-12"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) CSME versions","id":"CVE-2020-8703","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-09"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) CSME","id":"CVE-2020-8756","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-12"}],"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":"Insecure default initialization in Intel Boot Guard allows unauthenticated users with physical access to escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8705/"}
