CVE-2025-35991: Information Disclosure in Intel platforms
Improper initialization in the UEFI firmware for some Intel platforms within Ring 0: Bare Metal OS may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a high complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability arises from improper initialization in the UEFI firmware on certain Intel platforms running Ring 0: Bare Metal OS. A local attacker with privileged system software access and high attack complexity may exploit this flaw to disclose sensitive information. The attack does not require user interaction and does not affect system integrity or availability. CVSS 4.0 score is 5.6, reflecting medium severity. No vendor advisory or patch information is available to confirm remediation status.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability may lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information on affected Intel platforms. It does not impact system integrity or availability. Exploitation requires a privileged local user and a complex attack, limiting the likelihood and scope of impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, limit privileged user access and monitor for unusual activity consistent with local privilege misuse. No specific vendor mitigation or temporary fix is currently documented.
