Privilege escalation via uncontrolled search path
Published Nov 11, 2025 · Updated Nov 11, 2025
Uncontrolled search path in Intel FPGA Support Package for oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler before 2025.0.1 allows local users to escalate privileges. Intel identifies Ring 3 user-application code as the affected locus but does not disclose which loader or resource lookup searches an attacker-controlled location. Exploitation requires low privileges, high complexity, present attack requirements, and active user interaction, and can compromise host data and execution.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
