CVE-2023-25757

Vulnerability

An improper access control vulnerability exists in Intel(R) Unison(TM) software prior to version 10.12 [1]. This flaw resides in the access control mechanisms and may be reachable when a user with network access interacts with the software [1].

Exploitation

An attacker who already has privileged user access on the system can exploit this vulnerability via network access [1]. The specific steps are not detailed in the available references, but the privilege required for exploitation is high (privileged user) and the attack vector is network-based [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to escalate their privileges further within the affected system [1]. The impact is a privilege escalation, potentially leading to full system compromise or access to sensitive data [1].

Mitigation

Intel recommends updating Intel(R) Unison(TM) software to version 10.12 or later, which contains a fix for this issue [1]. No workarounds are mentioned in the available references [1].
