Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path
Published Nov 13, 2024 · Updated Nov 14, 2024
Uncontrolled search path in all Intel Server Board S2600ST firmware update package versions allows local users to escalate privileges. Intel identifies the flaw only as an uncontrolled search path and does not disclose the affected utility, path element, or unsafe lookup operation. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access, high complexity, a present attack condition, and active user interaction; successful exploitation elevates the attacker's privileges.
