Local privilege escalation via undisclosed access-control flaw
Published Aug 12, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Improper access control in Intel PCIe Switch tools before MR4_1.0b1 allows privileged local users to escalate privileges. Intel has not disclosed the affected function or the access-control operation performed incorrectly by the firmware package or LED mode toggle tool. Exploitation requires high local privileges and user interaction, and the resulting elevated privileges can compromise the affected system.
