CVE-2026-20708 Information disclosure in Intel(R) AMT and Intel(R) Standard Manageability may allow an information disclosure. Network adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
A network adversary with privileged access can exploit high-complexity flaws in Intel AMT to expose sensitive data logged by the system.

What is CVE-2026-20708?
CVE-2026-20708 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) AMT and Intel(R) Standard Manageability may allow an information disclosure. Network adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts., published on 11 Aug 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Insertion of sensitive information into log file in the subsystem for the Intel(R) AMT and Intel(R) Standard Manageability may allow an information disclosure. Network adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
