Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
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.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Intel AI Playground software before version 3.0.0 alpha via an uncontrolled search path element (CWE-427) allows a local low-privileged attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Exploitation requires an authenticated user, active user interaction, high attack complexity, and specific attack conditions (AT:P), making this a constrained but high-impact local privilege escalation. No public exploit code has been identified and CISA SSVC rates current exploitation as none, consistent with the extremely low EPSS score of 0.01% (3rd percentile).
Technical ContextAI
CWE-427 (Uncontrolled Search Path Element) describes a class of vulnerability commonly manifesting as DLL hijacking, binary planting, or insecure PATH resolution - where an application searches for executables or libraries in directories that an unprivileged user can write to. Intel's AI Playground software is a Ring 3 (user-mode) application as indicated in the description, confirmed by CPE cpe:2.3:a:n/a:ai_playground_software. When the application spawns child processes or loads libraries, it resolves names through an attacker-influenceable search path, allowing a malicious binary to be loaded in place of the legitimate one. The CVSS 4.0 metric AT:P (Attack Requirements: Present) confirms that specific preconditions beyond just local access must exist for exploitation.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to upgrade Intel AI Playground software to version 3.0.0 alpha or later as specified in the Intel security advisory INTEL-SA-01438 at https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01438.html. If upgrading immediately is not possible, compensating controls should focus on restricting write access to directories included in the application's search path - specifically ensuring that non-administrator users cannot place files in any directory resolved during AI Playground execution. Reviewing and hardening the PATH environment variable and DLL search order for affected systems can also reduce exposure. Limiting AI Playground usage to dedicated, single-user, or administrator-only accounts removes the unprivileged adversary prerequisite entirely. Note that these mitigations require per-system configuration and may not be auditable at scale without endpoint management tooling.
