Open-Source Tool me_cleaner: Streamlines Intel ME Firmware for Enhanced Privacy

2024-12-16

me_cleaner is an open-source Python script designed to partially deblob Intel Management Engine (ME) firmware, reducing its ability to interact with the system and improving user privacy and security. Intel ME firmware, integrated into all Intel motherboards since 2006, has access to system memory and network, making it difficult to disable or replace. me_cleaner modifies the ME firmware to be inactive during normal operation, activating only during boot, effectively mitigating potential security risks. The tool supports various Intel platforms, but obtaining and flashing the modified firmware requires an external SPI programmer. Results vary depending on the ME firmware version, but generally significantly reduce firmware size, potentially causing minor inconveniences like longer boot times or warning messages.

WASM Program Bypasses node:wasi Filesystem Sandbox

2024-12-15

This project demonstrates a proof-of-concept showcasing how a WASM program can bypass the preopens directory restriction in node:wasi to access files outside the sandbox. Normally, WASM programs are limited to accessing pre-opened directories. However, by cleverly using symbolic links to replace files at a precise moment and running an external process, this limitation can be circumvented. This is not a practical security vulnerability in node:wasi, but rather a potential edge case. The project highlights that one shouldn't rely on node:wasi to completely prevent malicious code from accessing external files.
