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-2023-42772 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2023-42772 is a high-severity vulnerability in UEFI firmware for some Intel(R) reference processors, published on 16 Sep 2024. 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-2023-42772 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: UEFI firmware for some Intel(R) reference 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-2023-42772/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42772/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-42772","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42772/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-42772","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-899w-w5qq-hg5v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel UEFI firmware","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A privileged local attacker can exploit an untrusted pointer dereference in Intel UEFI firmware to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"null_dereference"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-822","name":"Untrusted Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"Untrusted pointer dereference in UEFI firmware for some Intel(R) reference processors 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":"Null dereference in UEFI firmware for some Intel(R) reference processors","id":"CVE-2023-42772","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"null_dereference","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Power Gadget software for Windows","id":"CVE-2023-42773"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in ACERA 1310","id":"CVE-2023-42771"},"products":["UEFI firmware for some Intel(R) reference processors"],"published":"2024-09-16","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2025-11-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A privileged local attacker can exploit an untrusted pointer dereference in Intel UEFI firmware to escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42772/"}
