Impact

The vulnerability is an out‑of‑bounds read in the AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF). It allows an attacker to read data from arbitrary memory addresses, which can expose sensitive information or cause a denial of service by corrupting system state. The weakness is classified as CWE‑125, an untrusted control of buffer or array bounds.

Affected Systems

Affected are AMD Ryzen 6000, 7035, 7040, 8040, and Embedded 8000 series processors running the Platform Management Framework firmware as supplied by AMD. Specific model names include Rembrandt, Rembrandt R, Phoenix, Hawk Point, and the Embedded 8000 series.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.8 indicates moderate severity, and with no EPSS data, the likelihood of exploitation remains uncertain. The vulnerability is not yet listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Attackers would need privileged access to the firmware or a way to interact with the PMF subsystem, implying the likely attack vector involves local privileged or firmware‑level compromise.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest AMD firmware update for the processor that includes the Platform Management Framework fix.
  • If a firmware update has not yet been released, disable the PMF interface or restrict its access to trusted components only.
  • Enable firmware integrity verification and monitor for anomalous PMF activity to detect potential exploitation attempts.
