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. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability does not appear in CISA KEV at time of analysis.
Technical ContextAI
Intel AI Containers are containerized runtime environments optimized for AI and machine learning workloads on Intel hardware. CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure) indicates that a security control - likely a container isolation boundary, capability restriction, or access control enforcement mechanism - fails to operate correctly within Ring 3, the least privileged CPU execution ring (user application space). Rather than a hardware-level or hypervisor flaw, this is an application-layer vulnerability where the container's own protection mechanisms can be subverted. The CPE string (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:intel(r)_ai_containers) classifies this as an application product. The CVSS 4.0 AT:P (attack requirements present) metric confirms that exploitation is not possible in all deployed configurations - specific environmental or configuration conditions must exist for the attack path to be viable.
RemediationAI
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. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict access to the AI container environment to only fully trusted users - since exploitation requires existing high privileges (PR:H), enforcing strict least-privilege provisioning (avoiding unnecessary privileged grants within the container) eliminates the precondition for exploitation. Additionally, review and audit which users or service accounts hold elevated roles within container instances and revoke unnecessary permissions; this reduces exposure with no functional side effects for most workloads. Monitor container privilege events via host-level audit logging during the remediation window to detect any attempted exploitation.
