CVE-2026-24693

Local privilege escalation via undisclosed protection failure

Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026

Protection mechanism failure in Intel oneCCL Bindings for PyTorch before 2.8.0 allows local users to escalate privileges. Intel has not disclosed the affected code path or how the protection mechanism incorrectly processes attacker-controlled activity. Exploitation requires local access, high privileges, attack prerequisites, and passive interaction by a privileged user; success compromises host confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
