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
Protection mechanism failure in some Intel(R) RealSense(TM) ID software for Intel(R) RealSense(TM) 450 FA in version 0.25.0 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 confidence

A protection mechanism failure in Intel RealSense ID software version 0.25.0 for the RealSense 450 FA allows an authenticated user to escalate privileges via local access. This bypasses security controls intended to restrict privileged operations.

MitigationApply the vendor-provided security update or patch for Intel RealSense ID software to address the protection mechanism failure. If no patch is available, restrict physical access to the device and limit user authentication permissions.

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 RealSense 450 FA device presence
    Locate and confirm Intel RealSense 450 FA hardware units in your environment. Check physical hardware labels or inventory records for model number RealSense 450 FA.
    Affected if The environment contains Intel RealSense 450 FA devices
  2. Retrieve firmware version
    Connect to the RealSense 450 FA device and access the firmware version information through the Intel RealSense ID software interface or device management console. Use the software's version check function or firmware diagnostics tool.
    Affected if The installed firmware version is 0.25.0 or any version lower than 0.25.0
  3. Confirm authenticated access scope
    Verify whether local user accounts with standard (non-administrator) privileges exist on the system running Intel RealSense ID software. Check user account permissions and authentication configuration.
    Affected if Non-administrative authenticated users can access the RealSense ID software locally
  4. Verify privilege boundary configuration
    Review the security configuration settings within Intel RealSense ID software to confirm whether privileged operations are intended to be restricted to administrator-level users only.
    Affected if Security controls rely on the bypassed protection mechanism to restrict privileged operations

Your environment is affected if you have Intel RealSense 450 FA devices running firmware version 0.25.0 or lower, and local authenticated users with standard privileges can potentially access restricted operations.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

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 · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to a release after 0.25.0
Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-provided security update or patch for Intel RealSense ID software to address the protection mechanism failure. If no patch is available, restrict physical access to the device and limit user authentication permissions.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Firmware version > 0.25.0 (consult Intel security advisory for exact fixed release)

  1. Contact Intel support or check Intel's security advisory for the RealSense 450 FA firmware to obtain the fixed version
  2. Apply the firmware update following Intel's official update procedure for the RealSense 450 FA device
  3. Verify the firmware version has been updated to the patched release after applying the update
Caveat Firmware updates may require device reconfiguration; ensure backup of existing settings if applicable
