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 Edge Orchestrator software before version 24.11.1 for Intel(R) Tiber(TM) Edge Platform may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via adjacent 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 Tiber Edge Platform's Edge Orchestrator software before version 24.11.1 allows an authenticated user with adjacent network access to potentially escalate privileges. The vulnerability stems from insufficient validation of input data that could be manipulated to gain elevated access rights.

MitigationUpgrade Edge Orchestrator software to version 24.11.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. Review access controls and monitor for suspicious privilege escalation attempts in the interim.

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. Locate Edge Orchestrator installation
    Search for Intel Edge Orchestrator executables or service. Common locations: /opt/intel/edge-orchestrator, C:\Program Files\Intel\Edge Orchestrator, or check system services. Run: systemctl list-units --all | grep -i orchestrator or sc query IntelEdgeOrchestrator
    Affected if The software is installed on the system
  2. Determine installed version
    Check version of the Edge Orchestrator service or executable. Run: orchestrator --version, or check the service properties, or inspect version info in the binary, or look for a version file in the installation directory
    Affected if Version is lower than 24.11.1 or cannot be determined (treat as vulnerable)
  3. Verify service is running
    Check if Edge Orchestrator service is active. Run: systemctl is-active orchestrator or sc query IntelEdgeOrchestrator state
    Affected if Service is running and accepts network connections from adjacent networks
  4. Check authentication configuration
    Review authentication and authorization configuration files in the Edge Orchestrator config directory. Look for settings related to user permissions, role-based access, or input validation rules
    Affected if Adjacent network users can authenticate to the system (default or misconfigured authentication)

System is affected if Intel Tiber Edge Platform Edge Orchestrator software is installed with a version lower than 24.11.1, the service is running, and adjacent network users can authenticate to it.
