DescriptionCVE.org

Improper authentication for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software within Ring 0: Kernel may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

AnalysisAI

Information disclosure in Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software at Ring 0 (kernel level) exposes sensitive system data to privileged local adversaries who bypass improper authentication controls within the kernel driver. Affected systems include any platform running Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software, with the exact version range deferred to Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-01468. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local system access (AV:L) with high privileges (PR:H) - specifically, the ability to act as a system software adversary operating at or near Ring 0 (kernel level). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) constrains real-world risk substantially: exploitation requires local access and high privileges, eliminating remote or unauthenticated attack scenarios. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Apply the patched version of Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software identified in Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-01468, available at https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01468.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
