Local privilege escalation via incorrect default permissions
Published Jun 9, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Privilege escalation in Intel NUC M15 Laptop Kit Driver Pack before version 1.1 allows local users to gain higher privileges via local access. Intel has not published which files or objects receive the incorrect default permissions. An authenticated local account is required, and the documented consequence is elevation of privilege rather than remote access or network exploitation.
