Subsequent system integrity: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Local: The vulnerable system is not bound to the network stack and the attacker’s path is via read/write/execute capabilities. Either the attacker exploits the vulnerability by accessing the target system locally (e.g., keyboard, console), or through terminal emulation (e.g., SSH); or the attacker relies on User Interaction by another person to perform actions required to exploit the vulnerability (e.g., using social engineering techniques to trick a legitimate user into opening a malicious document).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 12 Aug 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Intel(R) Local Manageability Service software to 2514.7.16.0.

AI-suggested

European organizations should prioritize updating Intel Local Manageability Service software to version 2514.7.16.0 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Until patching is complete, organizations should enforce strict access controls to limit local authenticated access to trusted personnel only. Implementing robust credential management and monitoring for unusual local access patterns can help detect potential exploitation attempts. Additionally, reviewing and restricting log file permissions to prevent unauthorized reading of sensitive logs can reduce the risk of information disclosure. Organizations should also conduct regular audits of local accounts and ensure that least privilege principles are applied. Employing endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to monitor for suspicious activity related to Intel management services may provide early warning of exploitation attempts.

Description

Insertion of sensitive information into log file for some Intel(R) Local Manageability Service software before version 2514.7.16.0 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via local access.

Impact

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily in environments where Intel Local Manageability Service software is deployed, such as enterprise IT infrastructures that utilize Intel's management tools for hardware and system monitoring. The information disclosure could lead to leakage of sensitive operational or configuration data, potentially aiding attackers in lateral movement or privilege escalation within the network. While the vulnerability requires local authenticated access, insider threats or compromised credentials could be leveraged to exploit this flaw. The impact is more significant in sectors with stringent data protection requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure, where even limited data leakage can have regulatory and operational consequences. Since the vulnerability does not allow remote exploitation or direct system compromise, the risk is somewhat contained but still relevant for organizations with large numbers of users or complex access environments.
