Local privilege escalation via permissive installer defaults
Published May 13, 2025 · Updated May 14, 2025
Incorrect default permissions in Intel Endurance Gaming Mode before 1.5.651.0 allow local users to escalate privileges through its installer. The installers assign overly permissive defaults, but Intel has not disclosed which installed paths or access-control entries receive those permissions. Exploitation requires existing low-privileged local access and active user interaction; success grants elevated privileges on the host.
