CVE-2025-20611: Information Disclosure in Edge Orchestrator software for Intel(R) Tiber™ Edge Platform
Exposure of sensitive information to an unauthorized actor for some Edge Orchestrator software for Intel(R) Tiber™ Edge Platform may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-20611 is a medium-severity information disclosure vulnerability affecting the Edge Orchestrator software component of the Intel(R) Tiber™ Edge Platform. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user with local access to the system to potentially disclose sensitive information. The vulnerability arises due to insufficient protections around sensitive data handled by the Edge Orchestrator software, which is responsible for managing and orchestrating edge computing resources on the Intel Tiber platform. Exploitation requires local access and low privileges but does not require user interaction or network access, limiting the attack vector to users who already have some level of access to the device. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:H/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) indicates that the attack requires local access with high attack complexity, no user interaction, and results in high confidentiality impact but no impact on integrity or availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches or mitigations have been explicitly linked yet. The vulnerability is specific to certain versions of the Edge Orchestrator software, which is used to manage edge computing deployments on Intel's Tiber platform, a solution designed for distributed computing environments often deployed in industrial, telecommunications, and enterprise edge scenarios.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-20611 could be significant in environments where Intel Tiber Edge Platforms are deployed, particularly in sectors relying on edge computing such as manufacturing, telecommunications, smart cities, and critical infrastructure. The exposure of sensitive information could lead to leakage of operational data, configuration details, or credentials that may facilitate further attacks or unauthorized access. Although exploitation requires local authenticated access, insider threats or compromised user accounts could leverage this vulnerability to escalate information gathering capabilities. This could undermine confidentiality and potentially expose intellectual property or sensitive operational data. Given the increasing adoption of edge computing in Europe to support low-latency applications and data sovereignty requirements, this vulnerability could affect organizations that rely on Intel's edge solutions for distributed processing and orchestration. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate risk, but the medium severity and potential for information leakage warrant proactive mitigation to protect sensitive edge deployments.
Mitigation Recommendations
To mitigate CVE-2025-20611, European organizations should first ensure strict access controls and monitoring on devices running the Intel Tiber Edge Platform, limiting local access to trusted and authorized personnel only. Implementing robust authentication and authorization mechanisms to restrict user privileges can reduce the risk of exploitation by low-privilege users. Organizations should monitor for updates from Intel regarding patches or security advisories addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once available. Additionally, deploying endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions on edge devices can help detect suspicious local activities indicative of exploitation attempts. Network segmentation of edge devices to isolate them from broader enterprise networks can limit lateral movement if the vulnerability is exploited. Regular auditing of user accounts and local access logs will help identify potential misuse. Finally, organizations should consider encrypting sensitive data at rest and in transit within the edge environment to reduce the impact of any information disclosure.
