Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path
Published May 13, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Uncontrolled search path in Intel Graphics Driver software allows local users to gain elevated privileges through local execution. Intel has not identified the affected executable, searched directory, or library-loading operation that accepts an attacker-controlled path element. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access, active user interaction, and additional environmental conditions before code runs with elevated privileges.
