Official Description
A potential vulnerability was discovered in LCFC BIOS for some Lenovo consumer notebook models that could allow a local attacker with elevated privileges to view incoming and returned data from SMI.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2022-3745 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires high privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), with a CVSS base score of 4.4.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
