Patch availableDebug code left active in AMD's Video Decoder Engine Firmware (VCN FW) could allow a attacker to submit a maliciously crafted command causing the VCN FW to perform read/writes HW registers, potentially impacting confidentiality, integrity and availabilability of the system.
Debug code left active in AMD's Video Decoder Engine Firmware (VCN FW) could allow a attacker to submit a maliciously crafted command causing the VCN FW to perform read/writes HW registers, potentially impacting confidentiality, integrity and availabilability of the system.
The chip does not implement or does not correctly perform access control to check whether users are authorized to access internal registers and test modes through the physical debug/test interface.
An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.
No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.
No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.
CWE-1191: On-Chip Debug and Test Interface With Improper Access Control. The chip does not implement or does not correctly perform access control to check whether users are authorized to access internal registers and test modes through the physical debug/test interface.
