CVE-2025-22446

Authenticated privilege escalation via inadequate encryption strength

Published May 13, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026

Inadequate encryption strength in Intel Tiber Edge Platform Edge Orchestrator before 24.11 allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges. Intel has not published the affected cryptographic component, algorithm, key material, or operation that relies on the insufficient strength. Exploitation requires low-privilege authentication and adjacent-network access, with reported confidentiality and integrity impact but no availability impact.
