Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Intel AI Playground software up to 2.x and classified as critical. This issue affects an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a uncontrolled search path vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-427. The product uses a fixed or controlled search path to find resources, but one or more locations in that path can be under the control of unintended actors. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Uncontrolled search path for some AI Playground software before version 3.0.0 alpha 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 present without special internal knowledge and requires active 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.
