It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2022-21162 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-21162 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) HDMI Firmware Update tool for NUC, published on 10 May 2023. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-21162 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) HDMI Firmware Update tool for NUC. 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-2022-21162/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21162/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-21162","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21162/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-21162","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wp4f-rjhg-4f4c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel HDMI Firmware Update","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can escalate privileges via an uncontrolled search path in the Intel HDMI Firmware Update tool.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"nuc_hdmi_firmware_update_tool","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Uncontrolled search path for the Intel(R) HDMI Firmware Update tool for NUC before version 1.79.1.1 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(R) HDMI Firmware Update tool for NUC","id":"CVE-2022-21162","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Crypto API Toolkit for Intel(R) SGX","id":"CVE-2022-21163"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it is Unused","id":"CVE-2022-21161"},"products":["Intel(R) HDMI Firmware Update tool for NUC"],"published":"2023-05-10","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) NUC HDMI Firmware Update Tool for NUC8i3BE, NUC8i5BE, NUC8i7BE","id":"CVE-2021-33089","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-17"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) NUC HDMI Firmware Update Tool for NUC10i3FN, NUC10i5FN, NUC10i7FN","id":"CVE-2021-33090","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-17"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) HDMI Firmware Update Tool for NUC","id":"CVE-2022-40971","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"}],"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":"2025-01-27","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local attacker can escalate privileges via an uncontrolled search path in the Intel HDMI Firmware Update tool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21162/"}
