AMD PMF unchecked return value allows arbitrary memory read/write
CVE-2025-0028 Published on May 15, 2026
An unchecked return value within the AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF) could allow an attacker to read or modify an arbitrary address potentially resulting in loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2025-0028 is exploitable with local system access, and requires small amount of user privileges. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have no impact on confidentiality and integrity and availability.
Weakness Type
Unchecked Return Value
The software does not check the return value from a method or function, which can prevent it from detecting unexpected states and conditions. Two common programmer assumptions are "this function call can never fail" and "it doesn't matter if this function call fails". If an attacker can force the function to fail or otherwise return a value that is not expected, then the subsequent program logic could lead to a vulnerability, because the software is not in a state that the programmer assumes. For example, if the program calls a function to drop privileges but does not check the return code to ensure that privileges were successfully dropped, then the program will continue to operate with the higher privileges.
