Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Protection mechanism failure for some Intel(R) AI Containers before version v0.4.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low 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 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.
AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Intel AI Containers before v0.4.0 exposes a protection mechanism failure (CWE-693) within the Ring 3 user application layer, enabling a local attacker already holding high privileges to further escalate privileges with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the vulnerable system. Exploitation requires passive user interaction and specific attack conditions (AT:P), substantially limiting the realistic attack population to multi-tenant AI container deployments where privileged users must be constrained. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires all of the following: local access to the affected Intel AI Container environment (AV:L - no remote exploitation path is indicated); an existing high-privilege account within the container (PR:H - exploitation by a low or unprivileged user is not supported by the CVSS vector); passive user interaction (UI:P - some incidental user action is required, not zero-click); and specific attack requirements must be present (AT:P - not all deployments running a vulnerable version are automatically exploitable, a particular configuration or environmental state must exist). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Despite reporting full CIA impact on the vulnerable system, the CVSS 4.0 score of 5.4 accurately reflects the compounding mitigating factors: local access only (AV:L), attack requirements must be present (AT:P - not universally exploitable), existing high privileges required (PR:H), and passive user interaction needed (UI:P). … 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 | Upgrade Intel AI Containers to version v0.4.0 or later, per Intel Security Advisory INTEL-SA-01461 available at https://intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-01461.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
