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
Improper input validation in some Intel(R) Neural Compressor software before version 2.5.0 may allow an unauthenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via remote 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

Improper input validation in Intel Neural Compressor software before version 2.5.0 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to escalate privileges. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied input, likely in a network-exposed interface, enabling an attacker to gain elevated access without authentication.

MitigationUpgrade Intel Neural Compressor to version 2.5.0 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the affected software and implement input sanitization at all entry points.

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. Check if Intel Neural Compressor is installed
    Run 'pip show neural-compressor' or check for the package in your Python environment using 'pip list | grep -i neural'
    Affected if The software is not installed on the system
  2. Determine the installed version
    Run 'pip show neural-compressor' and note the Version field, or import the package and print its version attribute
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 2.5.0
  3. Verify if the network service is exposed
    Check running processes or services that expose Intel Neural Compressor functionality to network connections, review any configuration files that define listening network ports
    Affected if The software exposes a network service without proper authentication controls
  4. Check for authentication on network interfaces
    Review the configuration of any web API, REST endpoint, or network service provided by Intel Neural Compressor to confirm authentication is enforced
    Affected if Network interfaces accept unauthenticated requests
  5. Inspect input handling configuration
    Examine configuration files or environment settings related to how user input is processed by the software
    Affected if Input validation appears weak or disabled

A user is affected if Intel Neural Compressor versions before 2.5.0 are installed and the software or a derived service is exposed to network connections without proper authentication.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade Intel Neural Compressor to version 2.5.0 or later. If immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the affected software and implement input sanitization at all entry points.

Recommended fix High confidence

Intel Neural Compressor version 2.5.0 or later

  1. Check current installed version of Intel Neural Compressor
  2. Upgrade Intel Neural Compressor to version 2.5.0 or later
  3. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version
