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-2021-37409 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products. 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-2021-37409/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37409/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-37409","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37409/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-37409","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2021-37409","GHSA-prf5-97wh-vpmp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel WiFi drivers","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A privileged local user can escalate privileges in Intel PROSet/Wireless and Killer WiFi products due to improper access control.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"killer_ac_1550_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"killer_wi-fi_6_ax1650_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"killer_wi-fi_6e_ax1675_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"killer_wi-fi_6e_ax1690_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"proset_wi-fi_6e_ax210_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6_ax200_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6_ax201_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6e_ax211_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6e_ax411_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wireless-ac_9260_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wireless-ac_9461_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wireless-ac_9462_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wireless-ac_9560_firmware","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","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-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"Improper access control for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products may allow a privileged 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":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products","id":"CVE-2021-37409","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-37412"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"This is unused.","id":"CVE-2021-37405"},"products":["Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products"],"published":"2022-08-18","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products","id":"CVE-2021-44545","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi and Killer(TM) WiFi products","id":"CVE-2021-26254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"}],"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":"A privileged local user can escalate privileges in Intel PROSet/Wireless and Killer WiFi products due to improper access control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37409/"}
