Summary

Intel Data Center Manager SDK versions prior to 5.0.2 contain multiple vulnerabilities in authentication, access control, and privilege separation (CWE-287, CWE-693, CWE-284, CWE-1391, CWE-691) that allow unauthenticated or low-privileged attackers on the local network to escalate privileges, cause denial of service, or disclose sensitive information. The affected component is a software development kit used for managing Intel-based data center hardware and infrastructure.

What this means
What could happen
An attacker with network access to the Data Center Manager SDK could escalate privileges, disrupt monitoring and management functions, or extract sensitive system information from your data center infrastructure.
Who's at risk
This advisory affects data center operators and IT infrastructure teams who use Intel Data Center Manager SDK for monitoring and managing servers, storage, and network hardware in their facilities. It is particularly relevant to organizations running large-scale on-premises infrastructure or hybrid environments.
How it could be exploited
An attacker on the network segment where the SDK is deployed could exploit authentication or access control flaws to gain elevated privileges within the management system, allowing them to issue commands or access protected data without proper credentials.
Prerequisites
  • Network access to the Data Center Manager SDK
  • No valid credentials required for initial exploitation
No authentication requiredLow attack complexityHigh CVSS score (8.8)Network-adjacent attack vector (requires local network access)
Exploitability
Moderate exploit probability (EPSS 2.5%)
