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 privilege management for some Intel(R) CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an information disclosure. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) 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 privilege management vulnerability in Ring 3 (user applications) that allows unprivileged authenticated users to access sensitive information they should not have access to. The vulnerability is exploitable via network access with low complexity and requires no user interaction or special internal knowledge.

MitigationUpgrade Intel(R) CIP software to version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 or later to remediate the improper privilege management 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 Windows Settings > Apps & Features (or run 'appwiz.cpl' and look for 'Intel(R) Computing Improvement Program' or similar Intel CIP entries)
    Affected if The software appears in the installed programs list
  2. Find the installed version of Intel CIP
    Right-click the Intel CIP entry in Programs and Features, select 'Change' or 'Properties', or look for version information in the software's About/Help section. Alternatively, check the executable properties if you locate the program installation directory.
    Affected if You cannot locate the software or version information is unavailable
  3. Compare installed version against vulnerable range
    Compare the found version number to the vulnerable threshold: any version below 2.4.11001 is affected. The vulnerable version format appears as a numeric build (e.g., versions like 2.4.x.x where x.x is below 11001).
    Affected if Installed version is a release earlier than WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 (e.g., 2.4.0.x where x is less than 11001, or any earlier major version)
  4. Confirm the software is running and accessible
    Check if the Intel CIP service or application is currently running (open Task Manager, look for Intel CIP processes). Verify network accessibility if the software exposes network interfaces.
    Affected if The software is actively running and reachable on the network, as exploitation occurs via network access

You are affected if Intel(R) Computing Improvement Program is installed with a version number lower than 2.4.11001 and the software is running or accessible.
