Privilege escalation via dependency-confused package installation
Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026
Privilege escalation in Intel Corporation Hardware Aware Automated Machine Learning before 45cd723 allows local users to gain elevated privileges. The SQFT OPEA Dockerfile lets pip search public PyPI alongside Intel's index for oneccl_bind_pt, while SparAMX pins the sparse_linear 0.0.0 artifact. Exploitation requires local access, an affected dependency installation, and passive interaction from a privileged user.
