   In 2022, security researchers discovered a vulnerability in the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) that allows for an attacker with root/admin privileges to gain access to encryption keys via the APIC by inspecting data transfers from L1 and L2 cache. [40] This vulnerability is the first architectural attack discovered on x86 CPUs.

   An attacker could, for example, use a social engineering attack and send a "lucky winner" a rogue Thunderbolt device. Upon connecting to a computer, the device, through its direct and unimpeded access to the physical address space, would be able to bypass almost all security measures of the OS and have the ability to read encryption keys, install malware, or control other system devices.

   A complete specification is intended to consist of a platform-specific protection profile which references a common three part TPM 1.2 library. [5] In practice, only a PC Client protection profile was created for TPM 1.2. Protection profiles for PDA and cellular were intended to be defined, [5] but were never published.
