Physical-access privilege escalation
Published Nov 11, 2022 · Updated Feb 5, 2025
Improper input validation in Intel XMM 7560 modem software allows privileged users with physical access to escalate privileges. Intel has not disclosed the affected input, code locus, or validation operation beyond identifying improper input validation. Exploitation requires high privileges, physical access, user interaction, and conditions that make the attack complex.
