CVE-2026-61473Intel(R) TDX Migration Trust Domain (MigTD) capture-replay

Schedule itCritical9.2EPSS not scored yet

CVE-2026-61473 is a capture-replay in Intel(R) TDX Migration Trust Domain (MigTD), rated critical (9.2 on CVSS 4.0).

Why this priority: Critical severity, with no exploitation signal yet.

Published · Updated · NVD status: Received

What it is

A captured sign-in message can be replayed to authenticate again.

How it is reached

An attacker can exploit it by someone who can already run code or sign in on the machine, with an administrator account, and nobody has to click anything.

What an attacker gains

A successful attack can read the data it protects and change data or behaviour. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials. The damage can spread past the vulnerable component into others.

Is it being exploited?

There is no public report of exploitation yet.

What to do

  1. No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place Intel(R) TDX Migration Trust Domain (MigTD) runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
  2. Limit who can run code or sign in on the hosts that run it.

Description from NVD

Authentication bypass by capture-replay in the MigTD for the Intel(R) TDX Migration Trust Domain (MigTD) within Ring 0: Hypervisor may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (none) impacts.

What this means for your architecture.

A CVE names a product. Whether it matters depends on where that product sits in your systems: what reaches it, which trust boundary it guards and what it can reach once compromised. Veriom maps your components, their relationships and your trust boundaries from your code, cloud and delivery evidence, so you can see where a component like this sits. The radar itself does not look at your systems.

Components it touches

  • Sign-in, session and token handling. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.
  • Identity providers and SSO. The flaw sits between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions.

Trust boundaries in play

  • Host boundary. The attacker needs a foothold on the machine first; the flaw turns a small foothold into a bigger one.
  • Isolation between components. The impact crosses out of the vulnerable component into others it should be isolated from.
  • Between anonymous callers and authenticated sessions. An attacker who crosses it can act as a signed-in user, or an administrator, without valid credentials.

Questions to answer about your own systems

  • Where does Intel(R) TDX Migration Trust Domain (MigTD) run in your systems, and at which version?
  • Which of those hosts also run code or users you do not fully trust?
  • What can it reach once compromised: which data stores, secrets and services?
