CVE-2023-28715
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 some Intel(R) oneAPI Toolkit and component software installers before version 4.3.2 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable denial of service 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 confidenceImproper access control in Intel oneAPI Toolkit installers before version 4.3.2 allows an authenticated local user to potentially cause a denial of service. The vulnerability exists in the installer software itself, likely involving insufficient permission checks during installation operations that could be exploited to disrupt service availability.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Intel oneAPI Toolkit is installedLook for Intel oneAPI Toolkit installation directories, commonly in 'C:\Program Files\Intel\' or '/opt/intel/' on Linux, or check via system registry or package managerAffected if Intel oneAPI Toolkit is found on the system
-
Determine installed Intel oneAPI versionCheck the installed version by reviewing the installer logs, version files, or using the Intel oneAPI installation information tool if availableAffected if The installed version is less than 4.3.2
-
Identify installer component versionInspect the installer executable or DLL version properties, or check the installer component files within the Intel oneAPI installation directoryAffected if The installer component version cannot be determined or is below 4.3.2
-
Check for recent installation activityReview installation logs or system event logs for recent Intel oneAPI installer executions to identify which version was usedAffected if The installer logs show a version prior to 4.3.2 was used for installation
A user is affected if Intel oneAPI Toolkit version installed or used by the installer is prior to 4.3.2, as this version range contains the improper access control vulnerability.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped4.3.2
Update Intel oneAPI Toolkit and component installers to version 4.3.2 or later to remediate this vulnerability.
Intel oneAPI Toolkit 4.3.2 or later
- Identify the currently installed Intel oneAPI Toolkit version using system inventory or installer information
- Navigate to Intel's official website or download portal to obtain Intel oneAPI Toolkit version 4.3.2 or later
- Follow Intel's standard upgrade documentation to uninstall the current version and install the fixed version 4.3.2
- Verify the installation completed successfully and the version matches the fixed release
- Confirm the access control vulnerability is remediated by verifying proper file and service permissions post-upgrade
