CompuLab Intense PC and MintBox 2 devices with BIOS before 2017-05-21 do not use the CloseMnf protection mechanism for write protection of flash memory regions, which allows local users to install a firmware rootkit by leveraging administrative privileges.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects CompuLab Intense PC and MintBox 2 systems running BIOS builds before 2017-05-21. A user who already has administrative access could alter flash memory protections and place malicious code in firmware, creating persistence below the operating system. Exposure is limited to organizations that still operate CompuLab Intense PC or MintBox 2 devices with BIOS older than 2017-05-21. Risk is highest where local administrator accounts are broadly available or endpoints are not firmware-inventoried. Treat this as a targeted legacy hardware risk, not a broad internet-facing emergency. Prioritize any remaining affected devices because firmware compromise can survive normal operating system rebuilds and is difficult to detect. Mitigation focus: Inventory CompuLab Intense PC and MintBox 2 devices.; Check vendor guidance for BIOS dated 2017-05-21 or later.; Update affected BIOS firmware where supported by the vendor..
