CVE-2025-20064

State: Published
Severity: 8.7 High
Published: Mar 10, 2026
Updated: Mar 12, 2026
Reserved: Oct 10, 2024

Description

Improper input validation in the UEFI FlashUcAcmSmm module for some Intel(R) reference platforms may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable local code execution. 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 (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) impacts.
