CVE-2024-28028

Unauthenticated privilege escalation via adjacent access

Published Nov 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024

Improper input validation in Intel Neural Compressor before 3.0 allows attackers to escalate privileges through adjacent access. Intel has not disclosed the affected component, accepted input, validation error, or code path, so the concrete mechanism remains unavailable. Exploitation is unauthenticated but requires high complexity, adjacent positioning, and a prerequisite condition before privilege escalation occurs.
