Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path

Uncontrolled search path handling in Intel Quartus Prime Standard Edition before 23.1.1 allows local users to escalate privileges on Windows. The software searches a fixed resource path containing at least one location writable by an unintended actor, but Intel has not identified the executable, library, or function involved. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access, active user interaction, and additional environmental conditions; successful execution gains elevated control over data and service.
