Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path
Published Feb 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 12, 2024
Uncontrolled search path in Intel QSFP+ Configuration Utility, all versions, allows local users to escalate privileges. Intel has not disclosed the executable, searched dependency, or path-ordering operation that permits attacker-controlled code to load. Exploitation requires an authenticated local user, high-complexity conditions, and user interaction, and can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
