Intel

Intel, a major semiconductor and processor manufacturer, has a high-severity local vulnerability (CVSS 7.8) that requires user interaction but no authentication, potentially allowing attackers with local access to compromise system confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The flaw was discovered by Michael DePlante and reported in February 2026 with a patch deadline of June 2026. Security teams should monitor Intel's advisory channels closely for patch releases and prioritize updates for systems where local user access is a concern, particularly in multi-user environments.
