Summary

CVE-2024-24582 is a high-severity Improper Input Validation (CWE-20) vulnerability in Intel (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.7 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique System Firmware (T1542.001); ranked at the 9.6th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and SI-2 (Flaw Remediation).

Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-24582 is an improper input validation vulnerability, classified under CWE-20, affecting the XmlCli feature in UEFI firmware for some Intel(R) processors. Published on 2025-02-12, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability with a changed scope.

The vulnerability can be exploited by a privileged user (PR:H) with local access (AV:L), though it requires high attack complexity (AC:H) and occurs without user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation may enable escalation of privilege, potentially allowing the attacker to gain higher levels of access within the affected system.

Intel's security advisory (INTEL-SA-01139) and a Debian LTS announcement provide details on the issue. Security practitioners should review these references for recommended mitigations and available patches.
