CVE-2024-22378

Local privilege escalation via insecure installer permissions

Published Aug 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 14, 2024

Incorrect default permissions in Intel Unite Client Extended Display Plugin installers before 1.1.352.157 allow local users to escalate privileges. The installers assign unsafe default permissions, but Intel has not identified the affected files, directories, registry objects, or permission entries. Exploitation requires existing low-privilege local access, high-complexity conditions, and active user interaction, and grants elevated control over the host.
