CVE-2019-14609

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.7)—

Improper input validation in firmware for Intel(R) NUC(R) may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
