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-2021-33115 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-33115 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi in UEFI, published on 9 Feb 2022. 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-2021-33115 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi in UEFI. 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-2021-33115/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-33115/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-33115","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-33115/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-33115","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-22v8-m2j9-v5f6","UBUNTU-CVE-2021-33115"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel WiFi UEFI","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent access can escalate privileges due to improper input validation in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi UEFI firmware.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"uefi_wifi_driver","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Improper input validation for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi in UEFI may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via adjacent 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":false,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi in UEFI","id":"CVE-2021-33115","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"This is unused.","id":"CVE-2021-33116"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi in multiple operating systems and Killer(TM) WiFi in Windows 10 and 11","id":"CVE-2021-33114"},"products":["Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi in UEFI"],"published":"2022-02-09","related":[],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent access can escalate privileges due to improper input validation in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi UEFI firmware.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-33115/"}
