Local privilege escalation
Published Nov 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024
Improper access control in Intel Endpoint Management Assistant before 1.13.1.0 allows local users with existing access to escalate privileges. Intel has not disclosed the affected component or the access-control operation that mishandles the authenticated user's request. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and passive user interaction, and successful abuse grants elevated control over protected data and services.
