Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Insufficient run protection in install routine for Intel(R) Data Center Manager SDK before version 5.0.2 may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Intel Data Center Manager SDK versions before 5.0.2 contain an insufficient run protection vulnerability in the install routine. A privileged local user can exploit this to escalate their privileges, potentially gaining higher-level system access through manipulation of the installer process.

MitigationUpgrade Intel Data Center Manager SDK to version 5.0.2 or later to obtain the patched installer with proper run protection controls.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Intel Data Center Manager SDK is installed
    Check the system for the presence of Intel Data Center Manager SDK by looking in standard installation directories or using system inventory tools that list installed software
    Affected if The software is present on the system
  2. Determine the installed version of Intel Data Center Manager SDK
    Locate the SDK version information through the installed program's metadata, about dialog, or version file included with the installation
    Affected if The version cannot be determined or the software is found without version metadata
  3. Compare installed version to the affected range
    Compare the found version number against the vulnerable range: any version below 5.0.2 is affected
    Affected if The installed version is 5.0.1, 5.0.0, 4.x, or any other version number lower than 5.0.2

A user is affected if Intel Data Center Manager SDK is installed with any version lower than 5.0.2.
