Improper input validation in firmware for Intel NUC Kits may allow a privileged user to potentially execute arbitrary code resulting in information disclosure, escalation of privilege and/or denial of service via local access.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.41%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
