CVE-2024-32859: Dell Client Platform BIOS contains an Improper Input Validation vulnerability in an externally developed component.
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.17% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Dell CPG BIOS 1.0.24, 1.1.25, 1.12.0.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Dell CPG BIOS 1.0.24, 1.1.25, 1.12.0 or later.
