MediumCVSS 5.4Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs
Summary
Protection mechanism failure in Intel(R) Workload Services Framework may allow privilege escalation. An attacker with a privileged user and a low complexity attack can exploit this locally, requiring passive user interaction. The impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is high.
Risk Assessment
Possible privilege escalation in workload services environment, potentially leading to unauthorized access and system integrity compromise.
Recommendation
Apply available updates or patches for Intel(R) Workload Services Framework to remediate the vulnerability.
Original NVD description (English source)
Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) Workload Services Framework software within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged 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 present without special internal knowledge and requires passive 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.
