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 for some Intel(R) CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

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 · high confidence

Intel(R) CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 contains an improper input validation vulnerability in Ring 3 (user-mode) applications. An authenticated, unprivileged user with low-complexity attack requirements can exploit this to achieve privilege escalation, potentially via network access without user interaction.

MitigationUpdate Intel(R) CIP software to version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 or later to remediate the improper input validation vulnerability.

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 Computing Improvement Program is installed
    Open Control Panel > Programs and Features, or run 'wmic product get name,version' or 'Get-WmiObject Win32_Product | Select-Object Name,Version' in PowerShell
    Affected if Intel Computing Improvement Program or Intel CIP appears in the list of installed software
  2. Determine the installed version of Intel CIP
    In Programs and Features, right-click the Intel CIP entry and select Properties to view the Version field, or check the version from command output above
    Affected if The displayed version number is less than 2.4.11001 (such as 2.4.0.x, 2.3.x, or earlier)
  3. Verify the Intel CIP service exists and is running
    Open Services (services.msc) and locate Intel Computing Improvement Program service, or run 'sc query' to list running services
    Affected if The service named Intel Computing Improvement Program or similar is present and running

The environment is affected if Intel Computing Improvement Program is installed with a version lower than 2.4.11001 and the service is active.
