Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in Intel Reference Platform (version now known). Affected is some unknown processing of the component UEFI PdaSmm Module. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a exposure of resource vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-668. The product exposes a resource to the wrong control sphere, providing unintended actors with inappropriate access to the resource. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Exposure of resource to wrong sphere in the UEFI PdaSmm module for some Intel(R) reference platforms may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local 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.

The advisory is shared for download at intel.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2025-22444 since 01/08/2025. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The attack needs to be approached locally. Additional levels of successful authentication are needed for exploitation. There are neither technical details nor an exploit publicly available.
