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-2024-42492 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: BIOS and System Firmware Update Package for Intel(R) Server M50FCP family. 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-2024-42492/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42492/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42492","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42492/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42492","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6cf8-66gc-38x4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Server BIOS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A privileged local user can escalate privileges via an uncontrolled search path in Intel Server M50FCP BIOS firmware.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Uncontrolled search path element in some BIOS and System Firmware Update Package for Intel(R) Server M50FCP family before version R01.02.0002 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":"Privilege escalation in BIOS and System Firmware Update Package for Intel(R) Server M50FCP family","id":"CVE-2024-42492","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Dorsett Controls InfoScan Exposure of Sensitive Information To An Unauthorized Actor","id":"CVE-2024-42493"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in asterisk","id":"CVE-2024-42491"},"products":["BIOS and System Firmware Update Package for Intel(R) Server M50FCP family"],"published":"2025-02-12","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":"2025-02-13","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A privileged local user can escalate privileges via an uncontrolled search path in Intel Server M50FCP BIOS firmware.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42492/"}
