Local privilege escalation via incorrect default permissions
Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Incorrect default permissions in Intel Arc Control before 1.73.5335.2 allow local users to escalate privileges on Windows systems. Intel identifies incorrect default permissions but does not disclose the affected file, directory, or permission assignment that exposes privileged modification. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and user interaction; Intel does not disclose the resulting privilege level or alterable resource.
