CVE-2025-27559

Local privilege escalation via improper executable permissions

Published Aug 12, 2025 · Updated Aug 13, 2025

Incorrect default permissions in Intel AI Playground before 2.3.0 alpha allow local users to escalate privileges on the host. The affected defaults leave AI Playground.exe with improper permissions; Intel has not disclosed the exact ACL entries or privileged execution path. Exploitation requires a low-privileged local account, active user interaction, high complexity, and additional attack conditions.
