CVE-2025-20105 is an improper input validation vulnerability in a UEFI firmware System Management Mode (SMM) module affecting some Intel reference platforms. According to the provided advisory context, insufficient validation of attacker-controlled input in the SMM firmware component may allow a system software adversary who already has privileged local user access to trigger an escalation of privilege and achieve local code execution. The issue is characterized as a local, low-complexity attack requiring no user interaction, but with attack requirements present. The vulnerable component is identified only at the level of an SMM module in Intel UEFI firmware; no more specific function or code path is provided in the available content.
