CVE-2020-8756
Improper input validation in subsystem for Intel(R) CSME versions before 11.8.80, 11.12.80, 11.22.80, 12.0.70 and 14.0.45 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.35%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
