Summary

Intel(R) Distribution for Python software installers before version 2025.2.0 contain an uncontrolled search path in Ring 3 (user applications) that may allow privilege escalation. The attack requires an authenticated user, local access, and active user interaction, with high complexity.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated local attacker could exploit the uncontrolled search path to escalate privileges, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, user interaction and high attack complexity are required.

Recommendation

Update the Intel Distribution for Python installer to version 2025.2.0 or later. Avoid running installers from directories with insecure permissions.

Original NVD description (English source)

Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) Distribution for Python software installers before version 2025.2.0 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 escalation of privilege. 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.
