CVE-2022-41690
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 · uneditedImproper access control in the Intel(R) Retail Edge Mobile iOS application before version 3.4.7 may allow an authenticated 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 confidenceThe Intel Retail Edge Mobile iOS application before version 3.4.7 contains improper access control that allows an authenticated user to escalate privileges through local access. This authorization bypass likely stems from missing or insufficient permission checks within the application's internal functions, enabling a legitimate user to access administrative or higher-privilege functionality they should not have access to.

dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Locate Intel Retail Edge Mobile app on iOS deviceOpen the iOS device and navigate to Settings > General > iPhone Storage (or Settings > Apps > Intel Retail Edge on newer iOS versions). Alternatively, search for 'Intel Retail Edge' in the app list or App Library.Affected if The Intel Retail Edge Mobile iOS application is present on the device.
-
Identify installed application versionIn Settings > Apps > Intel Retail Edge (or Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Intel Retail Edge), locate the 'Version' or 'Version Number' field displayed under the app name.Affected if A version number is displayed for the installed application.
-
Compare version to vulnerability thresholdCompare the installed version number to 3.4.7. Note that versions are compared numerically (e.g., 3.4.6 is less than 3.4.7, 3.4.0 is less than 3.4.7).Affected if The installed version is a number lower than 3.4.7 (e.g., 3.4.6, 3.4.0, 3.3.x, etc.).
-
Verify authenticated user access existsThis vulnerability requires a legitimate authenticated user to exploit. Determine if the application has been provisioned with valid user credentials for the retail edge program.Affected if The application has been configured with valid user credentials and the user is able to log in.
A user is affected if the Intel Retail Edge Mobile iOS application is installed with a version number less than 3.4.7 and the user has authenticated access to the application.

dbcve · scoped3.4.7
Upgrade the Intel Retail Edge Mobile iOS application to version 3.4.7 or later to obtain the vendor fix for this access control vulnerability.
Intel Retail Edge Mobile iOS application version 3.4.7
- 1. Open the App Store on the iOS device
- 2. Search for 'Intel Retail Edge Mobile' or navigate to your installed apps
- 3. Check the current installed version of the application
- 4. If the version is below 3.4.7, tap 'Update' to install the latest version containing the security fix
- 5. Alternatively, enable automatic app updates in iOS Settings > App Store > Automatic Downloads to ensure future updates are applied
