CVE-2026-20702: Information Disclosure in Intel(R) Data Center Attestation Primitives (Intel(R) DCAP) may allow information disclosure. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are present with special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (high)
CVE-2026-20702 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel Data Center Attestation Primitives (Intel DCAP) involving a protection mechanism failure that may allow information disclosure. An unprivileged, unauthenticated adversary with low attack complexity could potentially exploit this vulnerability via network access, requiring special internal knowledge and no user interaction. The vulnerability impacts system integrity primarily, with no direct confidentiality or availability impact stated. No affected versions or patch information are provided.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in Intel DCAP arises from a failure in protection mechanisms that could enable an unprivileged, unauthenticated attacker to cause information disclosure through network access. The attack complexity is low but requires special internal knowledge. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.9, indicating high severity, with the primary impact on system integrity. No patch or remediation level is currently specified, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise the integrity of the affected system, potentially leading to unauthorized modification or corruption of data. Confidentiality and availability impacts are reported as none or low. The attack does not require user interaction and can be performed remotely given the necessary internal knowledge.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary mitigation is currently documented. Organizations using Intel DCAP should monitor vendor communications for updates and advisories.
