CVE-2021-44470

Local information disclosure via incorrect default permissions

Published Aug 18, 2022 · Updated May 5, 2025

Incorrect default permissions in Intel Connect M before 1.7.4 allow local users to disclose application information via local access. Intel has not identified the permission-controlled resource, the default permission value, or the data exposed by that operation. Exploitation requires local, high-privilege access to the mobile device, and the published impact is limited to confidentiality.
