Local denial of service via undisclosed condition check
Published Feb 10, 2026 · Updated Feb 10, 2026
Improper condition handling in Intel NPU Driver for Windows before 32.0.100.4297 allows local users to cause a system service interruption. Intel identifies the affected locus only as firmware operating in the Ring 1 device-driver context and has not published the checked condition or failure path. Exploitation requires low-privileged authenticated local access, high attack complexity, and no user interaction; the bounded result is a denial-of-service interruption.

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.
