Authenticated adjacent-network privilege escalation
Published May 13, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Uncontrolled resource consumption in Intel Tiber Edge Orchestrator before 24.11 allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges. Intel has not disclosed the affected component, the resource that is exhausted, or the operation that fails to bound its consumption. Exploitation requires an authenticated user with adjacent network access; Intel reports privilege escalation but provides no further consequence details.
