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-2024-40885 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Server M20NTP BIOS. 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-2024-40885/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40885/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-40885","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40885/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-40885","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8755-h2rp-p3rr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Server BIOS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A use-after-free flaw in Intel Server M20NTP BIOS allows privileged local users to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"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:H/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"Use after free in the UEFI firmware of some Intel(R) Server M20NTP BIOS 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":"Use after free in Intel(R) Server M20NTP BIOS","id":"CVE-2024-40885","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"One-click Client-Side Path Traversal Leading to CSRF in User Management admin page","id":"CVE-2024-40886"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Unauthorized disabling of invite URL","id":"CVE-2024-40884"},"products":["Intel(R) Server M20NTP BIOS"],"published":"2024-11-13","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":"2024-11-14","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A use-after-free flaw in Intel Server M20NTP BIOS allows privileged local users to escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40885/"}
