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. No active exploitation has been confirmed (not listed in CISA KEV), no public exploit code has been identified, and the CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.7 reflects the significant mitigation offered by the high-privilege local access prerequisite.

Technical ContextAI

Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software is the driver and management suite for Intel wireless network adapters, operating at Ring 0 - the kernel privilege level where code runs with unrestricted hardware access. The affected component resides within this kernel layer, meaning a flaw here has direct access to system memory and driver state without the isolation that user-mode software provides. CWE-287 (Improper Authentication) is the root cause class: the kernel-level code fails to correctly verify the identity or authorization of a requesting entity, allowing a high-privilege system software adversary to circumvent authentication checks. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:n/a:intel(r)_proset/wireless_wifi_software:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, indicating that specific affected version ranges are enumerated in the vendor advisory rather than the NVD CPE data. The flaw is reported by Intel itself and assigned ENISA EUVD ID EUVD-2026-56487.

RemediationAI

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. The exact fixed version number was not present in the provided intelligence data and must be confirmed directly from that advisory - do not rely on the CPE wildcard for version guidance. If immediate patching is not feasible, compensating controls should focus on restricting which processes and accounts can interact with kernel-level wireless driver interfaces: enforce strict least-privilege policies so that only explicitly authorized system software runs with Ring 0 or high-privilege access, and audit kernel module and driver signing policies to reduce the attack surface for a system software adversary to position themselves for exploitation. These controls reduce exposure but do not eliminate the underlying flaw; patching remains the definitive remediation.
