Local privilege escalation via unquoted search path
Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Unquoted search path in Intel Arc Control before 1.73.5335.2 allows local users to elevate privileges through local access. Intel has not identified the affected executable, service, or path; the exposed path element lacks quotation marks and can resolve to an attacker-controlled executable. The attack requires low-privileged local access, high-complexity conditions, and user interaction; successful execution gains higher privileges.
