CVE record, CISA KEV and EPSS as of 2026-10-18.
CVEs like this one computed, by meaning
What to do now held facts and links
- Upgrade to the fixed version for your release line, or later: converged security management engine firmware 11.11.60; converged security management engine firmware 11.22.60; converged security management engine firmware 11.8.60… upper bounds of the CVE record's affected ranges
- Record your decision, dated and frozen with today's evidence: patch by a date · mitigated by a compensating control · deferred · accepted the risk · not affected
- Check your version against the ranges this record publishes.
What it is stated by the CNA
Insufficient input validation in Intel CSME before versions 11.8.60, 11.11.60, 11.22.60 or 12.0.20 or Intel TXE before version 3.1.60 or 4.0.10 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially modify data via physical access.

Outside the record researched, cited
This section reads the record's references and adds cited findings from outside it. It needs an account. Everything above is held facts and is complete without it.
What would change this brief held, dated
- CISA KEV
- Not listed in the catalogue we hold. A listing changes this brief.
- exploit probability
- 0.00 on 2026-09-06 (FIRST's EPSS, a probability and not evidence of exploitation). Next band line: 10% (0.10). Crossing a line changes this brief.
- fix
- Held: converged security management engine firmware 11.11.60; converged security management engine firmware 11.22.60; converged security management engine firmware 11.8.60…. A newer fix from the CNA or OSV changes this brief.
How to check this
Every value above is held with two dates: when it was true upstream (as_of) and when we recorded it (tx_from). Re-derive the exploit probability as it stood on any date:
SELECT value, source, source_version, as_of, tx_from
FROM volatile_valid_as_of('CVE-2018-12188', '2026-11-01T23:59:59.999999Z', now());
