CVE-2025-24314
📋 TL;DR
An improper access control vulnerability in Intel CIP software allows unprivileged software running with a privileged user to potentially expose data via network access. This affects systems running Intel CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001. The vulnerability has low confidentiality impact and requires specific attack conditions to be exploited.
💻 Affected Systems
- Intel(R) CIP software
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Sensitive data exposure to an attacker with network access and ability to run unprivileged software on a system with a privileged user account.
Likely Case
Limited information disclosure requiring specific software configurations and attack vectors to be present.
If Mitigated
No impact if proper access controls and network segmentation are implemented.
🎯 Exploit Status
Requires unprivileged software adversary with privileged user combined with high complexity attack.
