An improper input validation in the firmware for Intel NUC kits (CVE-2018-12176) allows attackers to patch the BIOS\/UEFI with unsigned updates and place arbitrary code. Embdi security researchers have developed a proof of concept to manipulate the BIOS\/UEFI on various Intel NUCs (details are described here<\/a>). The following screenshot shows a BIOS\/UEFI message on the monitor manipulated by Embedi as part of a proof of concept.<\/p>\n Embedi security researchers write that you need to have access to the Intel NUC and administrative privileges for an attack. This restricts the possibility of abuse (no hacking via the Internet). But it opens up new approaches for manipulating hardware. If the attacker succeeds in gaining direct access to the devices, he could place a Trojan in the BIOS\/UEFI which would also survive a new installation of the operating system.<\/p>\n Intel now warns in the Security Advisory INTEL-SA-00176<\/a> of the vulnerability in the following NUC systems:<\/p>\n The company has rated the vulnerability as high (8.2 out of 10 possible points) and has released firmware updates for the affected NUCs and Intel Compute Sticks to close the vulnerability. The update and details can be found in the Security Advisory INTEL-SA-00176<\/a>.<\/p>\n Similar articles: There is a vulnerability (CVE-2018-12176) in the BIOS of various Intel NUCs, which can be used to manipulate the devices.
