Local privilege escalation
Published Aug 14, 2024 · Updated Aug 14, 2024
Improper access control in Intel Agilex 7 FPGA firmware before 24.1 allows local users with existing high privileges to escalate privileges. The published advisory does not identify the affected firmware interface, protected resource, or access-control operation that permits unauthorized access. Exploitation requires privileged local access and an additional attack condition that Intel does not describe; the advisory reports privilege escalation but not the precise new privileges or post-escalation actions.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
