Low risk4th percentile - higher than 4% of all known CVEs
Summary
Uncontrolled search path in some Intel(R) CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. An unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable local code execution via local access when attack requirements are present, requiring active user interaction.
Risk Assessment
The vulnerability could allow privilege escalation and local code execution, potentially impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. It requires local access and active user interaction.
Recommendation
Update Intel(R) CIP software to version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 or later. Educate users on safe behavior and restrict local access.
Other vulnerabilities in Intel(R) CIP software
See all- CVE-2025-24848Medium
Protection mechanism failure in Intel(R) CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. A privileged authenticated user with a high-complexity attack can escalate privileges via local access, requiring passive user interaction.
- CVE-2025-24838High
Improper privilege management for some Intel(R) CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. An unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege.
- CVE-2025-20614Medium
External control of file name or path in some Intel(R) CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. An unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege via local access when attack requirements are present, without user interaction.
Original NVD description (English source)
Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable local code execution. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
