Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Improper input validation in UEFI firmware in some Intel(R) Server Board M10JNP2SB Family may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Improper input validation in UEFI firmware on Intel Server Board M10JNP2SB Family allows a privileged local user to escalate privileges. This is a firmware-level vulnerability where the boot firmware fails to properly validate input, enabling privilege escalation beyond the attacker's current privileged user level.

MitigationApply Intel-provided UEFI firmware update for the affected M10JNP2SB server board when available. Until patched, restrict physical and local console access to trusted personnel only.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify your server board model
    Verify you are using an Intel Server Board M10JNP2SB by checking the server chassis label, BIOS boot screen, or BMC web interface system information page.
    Affected if You are not using the Intel M10JNP2SB server board.
  2. Check installed UEFI firmware version
    Access the BMC web interface and navigate to the Firmware/BIOS version page, or run 'dmidecode -s bios-version' from an OS with UEFI access, or use IPMI: 'ipmitool -I lanplus -H [BMC-IP] -U [user] -P [pass] raw command' to retrieve the firmware version.
    Affected if The installed firmware version is 7.220 or lower.
  3. Assess privileged local user access
    Review all accounts with privileged access (root, admin, or equivalent) on the operating system and BMC interface. Check who has console login capabilities.
    Affected if There are untrusted or multiple users with privileged local access.
  4. Evaluate physical access controls
    Determine who has physical access to the server room and the server's console ports (USB, video, or physical BMC access).
    Affected if Physical access is not restricted to trusted personnel only.

You are affected if you are running Intel M10JNP2SB with UEFI firmware version 7.220 or lower, and untrusted individuals have privileged local user accounts or physical access to the system.

Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 7.220
Interim mitigation

Apply Intel-provided UEFI firmware update for the affected M10JNP2SB server board when available. Until patched, restrict physical and local console access to trusted personnel only.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

UEEFI firmware version > 7.220 (check Intel's official download page for the exact fixed release number)

  1. Identify the current UEFI firmware version installed on the Intel Server Board M10JNP2SB by accessing the BIOS/UEFI setup utility or using Intel system management tools
  2. Navigate to the Intel support website (www.intel.com) and locate the drivers and support page for the M10JNP2SB server board
  3. Download the latest UEFI firmware update provided by Intel for this platform
  4. Follow Intel's documented firmware update procedure, which typically involves: (a) extracting the update package, (b) running the firmware update utility from a USB drive or via Intel BMC/BIOS update tools, (c) ensuring stable power throughout the update process, and (d) rebooting the system as instructed
  5. After the update completes, verify the new firmware version reflects the fixed release in the BIOS/UEFI setup or via system inventory tools
Caveat Firmware updates carry inherent risk; ensure proper backup and follow Intel's update instructions precisely to avoid rendering the system non-functional
