Improper access control in firmware for some Intel(R) NUC Boards, Intel(R) NUC 11 Performance Kit, Intel(R) NUC 11 Performance Mini PC, Intel(R) NUC Pro Compute Element may allow a privileged user to potentially enable denial of service via local access.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 5.3, requiring local system access to exploit but requires specific conditions to be met without requiring user interaction . The vulnerability impacts and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 78 products from intel, from intel, from intel and 75 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2023, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For intel's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
