Local privilege escalation in Intel QuickAssist Adapter 8960 software before version 1.13 allows an authenticated, low-privileged user to abuse an untrusted pointer dereference in a Ring 3 user-application component to gain elevated privileges on the host. The flaw yields total impact (high confidentiality, integrity, and availability) on the affected system and carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.5. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS rates near-term exploitation probability at just 0.01%.
