Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical was found in Intel CSME and TXE (the affected version is unknown). Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Code injection vulnerability in installer for Intel(R) CSME before versions 11.8.65, 11.11.65, 11.22.65, 12.0.35 and Intel(R) TXE 3.1.65, 4.0.15 may allow an unprivileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

The bug was discovered 05/14/2019. The weakness was released 05/17/2019. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2019-0091 since 11/13/2018. An attack has to be approached locally. A single authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1059 for this issue.

The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 3 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.

Upgrading eliminates this vulnerability.
