Intel VTune Profiler < 2024.0 Escalation of Privilege

medium Nessus Plugin ID 197896

Synopsis

A software performance profiler application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability.

Description

The version of Intel VTune Profiler installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2024.0. It is, therefore, affected by an escalation of privilege vulnerability. Due to an uncontrolled search path element, an authenticated, local attacker can elevate their privileges.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Intel VTune Profiler version 2024.0 or later.
