CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedIntel Performance Counter Monitor versions prior to 202604 are vulnerable to an untrusted search path issue that could allow an authenticated, unprivileged attacker to escalate privileges through a complex local attack. This vulnerability poses significant risks to system confidentiality, integrity, and availability, making it critical for organizations using affected versions to prioritize remediation. Users and administrators of Intel PCM should assess their systems and apply updates to mitigate potential exploitation.
Original NVD Description
Untrusted search path for some Intel(R) Performance Counter Monitor (Intel(R) PCM) before version tag 202604 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires passive user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
