Local privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path
Published Nov 11, 2025 · Updated Nov 11, 2025
Uncontrolled search path handling in Intel Graphics Software before 25.22.1502.2 allows local users to escalate privileges. Intel identifies the flaw only within its Ring 3 user applications and has not disclosed the executable, dependency, or search order containing the attacker-controlled path element. Exploitation requires low-privileged authenticated access, high-complexity conditions, an additional attack requirement, and active user interaction; success compromises the vulnerable system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
