CVE-2025-24921

6.6 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

An improper input neutralization vulnerability in Intel Tiber Edge Platform's Edge Orchestrator software allows unauthenticated attackers on adjacent networks to potentially access sensitive information. This affects organizations using Intel Tiber Edge Platform with Edge Orchestrator versions before 24.11.1. The vulnerability requires network adjacency to the vulnerable system.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Intel Tiber Edge Platform Edge Orchestrator
Versions: All versions before 24.11.1
Operating Systems: Not specified - likely multiple OS support
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Vulnerability exists in default configurations of affected Edge Orchestrator software. Requires network adjacency to the vulnerable system.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

Recommended Actions:
  1. Review the CVE details at NVD
  2. Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Unauthenticated adjacent attacker gains access to sensitive configuration data, credentials, or proprietary information from the Edge Orchestrator, potentially enabling further attacks on the edge infrastructure.

🟠

Likely Case

Information disclosure of system configuration details, network information, or limited operational data that could aid reconnaissance for subsequent attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Minimal impact with proper network segmentation and access controls limiting adjacent network access to authorized systems only.

🌐 Internet-Facing: LOW - Requires adjacent network access, not directly internet exploitable unless the system is exposed to untrusted networks.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal networks often have less segmentation, making adjacent access easier for compromised internal systems or malicious insiders.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: MEDIUM

Exploitation requires network adjacency and specific knowledge of the Edge Orchestrator software. No authentication required for exploitation.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: 24.11.1 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01317.html

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Download Edge Orchestrator version 24.11.1 or later from Intel's official distribution channels. 2. Follow Intel's upgrade documentation for Tiber Edge Platform. 3. Verify the upgrade completed successfully and the vulnerability is mitigated.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate Edge Orchestrator systems to trusted network segments with strict access controls

Access Control Lists

all

Implement network ACLs to restrict access to Edge Orchestrator services to authorized systems only

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network segmentation to isolate Edge Orchestrator from untrusted adjacent networks
  • Deploy network monitoring and intrusion detection to detect suspicious access attempts to Edge Orchestrator services

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check Edge Orchestrator software version via administrative interface or command line. If version is earlier than 24.11.1, the system is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check via Edge Orchestrator web interface or consult Intel Tiber Edge Platform documentation for version query commands specific to your deployment.

Verify Fix Applied:

Confirm Edge Orchestrator version is 24.11.1 or later. Test from an adjacent network system to verify information disclosure is no longer possible.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual access patterns to Edge Orchestrator services from adjacent network systems
  • Failed authentication attempts or access to sensitive endpoints without authentication

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual network traffic to Edge Orchestrator ports from adjacent network segments
  • Information disclosure patterns in network traffic

SIEM Query:

source_ip IN (adjacent_network_range) AND dest_port IN (edge_orchestrator_ports) AND (http_status=200 OR successful_access) WITHOUT user_authentication
