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-2022-21794 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) NUC Boards, Intel(R) NUC Business, Intel(R) NUC Enthusiast, Intel(R) NUC Kits. 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-2022-21794/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21794/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-21794","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21794/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-21794","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2w6f-57rm-7cf8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel NUC firmware","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A privileged local user can escalate privileges due to improper authentication in Intel NUC BIOS firmware.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"nuc_8_business_nuc8i7hnkqc_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"nuc_8_enthusiast_nuc8i7hvkva_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"nuc_8_enthusiast_nuc8i7hvkvaw_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"nuc_kit_nuc8i7hnk_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"nuc_kit_nuc8i7hvk_firmware","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":7.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Improper authentication in BIOS firmware for some Intel(R) NUC Boards, Intel(R) NUC Business, Intel(R) NUC Enthusiast, Intel(R) NUC Kits before version HN0067 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":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in Intel(R) NUC Boards, Intel(R) NUC Business, Intel(R) NUC Enthusiast, Intel(R) NUC Kits","id":"CVE-2022-21794","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it is Unused","id":"CVE-2022-21795"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) Ethernet 500 Series Controller drivers for VMWare before version 1.11.4.0 and in the Intel(R) Ethernet 700 Series Controller drivers for VMWare","id":"CVE-2022-21793"},"products":["Intel(R) NUC Boards, Intel(R) NUC Business, Intel(R) NUC Enthusiast, Intel(R) NUC Kits"],"published":"2022-11-11","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":"2025-02-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A privileged local user can escalate privileges due to improper authentication in Intel NUC BIOS firmware.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21794/"}
