Insufficient granularity of access control in out-of-band management in some Intel(R) Atom and Intel Xeon Scalable Processors may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via adjacent network access.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.54%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
