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-2020-8739 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2020-8739 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel BIOS platform sample code for some Intel(R) Processors, 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-2020-8739 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel BIOS platform sample code for some Intel(R) Processors. 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-2020-8739/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8739/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-8739","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8739/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-8739","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j75f-528v-qghg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel BIOS sample code","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can escalate privileges using a dangerous function in Intel BIOS platform sample code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"bios","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"aff_bios","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"fas_bios","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"hci_compute_node_bios","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"hci_storage_node_bios","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"solidfire_bios","vendor":"netapp"}],"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":[],"description":"Use of potentially dangerous function in Intel BIOS platform sample code for some Intel(R) Processors 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":"Privilege escalation in Intel BIOS platform sample code for some Intel(R) Processors","id":"CVE-2020-8739","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel BIOS platform sample code for some Intel(R) Processors","id":"CVE-2020-8740"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel BIOS platform sample code for some Intel(R) Processors","id":"CVE-2020-8738"},"products":["Intel BIOS platform sample code for some Intel(R) Processors"],"published":"2020-11-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel BIOS","id":"CVE-2019-14557","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-05"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) Processors","id":"CVE-2020-12360","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel BIOS Advisory","id":"CVE-2020-8672","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-02"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-7096","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-08-27"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Processors","id":"CVE-2020-12359","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-09"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Processors","id":"CVE-2020-12357","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-09"}],"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":"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 attacker can escalate privileges using a dangerous function in Intel BIOS platform sample code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-8739/"}
