It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-12168 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Computing Improvement Program. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12168/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12168/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-12168","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12168/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-12168","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-93jv-wchf-cfhw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Computing Improvement Program","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges to administrator via insecure file permissions in the Intel Computing Improvement Program.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"computing_improvement_program","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"Privilege escalation in file permissions in Intel Computing Improvement Program before version 2.2.0.03942 may allow an authenticated user to potentially execute code as administrator via local access.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Computing Improvement Program","id":"CVE-2018-12168","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-12169"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) Optane(TM) SSD DC P4800X","id":"CVE-2018-12167"},"products":["Intel(R) Computing Improvement Program"],"published":"2018-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) CIP software","id":"CVE-2025-24299","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Computing Improvement Program","id":"CVE-2021-0052","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Computing Improvement Program software","id":"CVE-2021-0074","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Computing Improvement Program Advisory","id":"CVE-2020-8736","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in Intel(R) Computing Improvement Program Advisory","id":"CVE-2019-11162","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-19"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) CIP software","id":"CVE-2025-24838","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Intel Corporation"]},"summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges to administrator via insecure file permissions in the Intel Computing Improvement Program.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12168/"}
