CVE-2025-24847
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability in Intel CIP software allows unprivileged software combined with a privileged user to potentially disclose information via improper input validation. It affects systems running Intel CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001. The attack requires network access and passive user interaction.
💻 Affected Systems
- Intel(R) CIP software
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Sensitive information disclosure to an attacker with network access and user interaction, potentially exposing confidential data.
Likely Case
Limited information disclosure requiring specific conditions (privileged user combined with unprivileged software and user interaction).
If Mitigated
Minimal impact if proper network segmentation and user privilege controls are implemented.
🎯 Exploit Status
Attack requires privileged user combined with unprivileged software and passive user interaction. CVSS indicates low attack complexity.
