CVE-2021-0096

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

Improper authentication in the software installer for the Intel(R) NUC HDMI Firmware Update Tool for NUC7i3DN, NUC7i5DN, NUC7i7DN before version 1.78.1.1 may allow an authenticated 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).
