Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path
Published Nov 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024
Uncontrolled search path in Intel High Level Synthesis Compiler before 24.1 allows local users to escalate privileges. The published record does not identify the executable, searched directory, or library-loading operation that trusts an uncontrolled path element. Exploitation requires authenticated local access, high attack complexity, a prerequisite condition, and active user interaction; successful execution grants the attacker’s code the compiler process’s higher privileges.

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.
- Affected versionversion=0 <24.1
- Affected versionversion=before version 24.1
