It also appears to be impossible to correct firmware errors caused by the threat. This failure reportedly compromises the hardware of the computer.
Security breach
The CSME is one of the first systems to run on the computer, as well as being responsible for loading and verifying all firmware on the computer. Therefore, that there is a failure or vulnerability in it has dire consequences for users. In addition, it shows that Intel has not acted correctly, having considered that this failure was harmless.
Due to the failure, someone could falsify the code of any firmware module in a way that could extract the key from the chipset. For now it is considered not too serious, although those who have discovered the failure believe that it will get worse.
Except for the latest generation of processors, all Intel chips are vulnerable to this failure. So millions of people around the world can be affected by it. The company has so far not reacted to this error.
