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-2018-3701 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel Proset\\/Wireless Wifi. 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-2018-3701/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-3701/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-3701","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-3701/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-3701","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qg6q-7mwr-m5vq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel WiFi Software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to improper directory permissions in the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software installer.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"proset\\/wireless_wifi","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":"Improper directory permissions in the installer for Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software version 20.100 and earlier may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege 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) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software Advisory","id":"CVE-2018-3701","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"intel:proset\\/wireless_wifi","products":["intel:proset\\/wireless_wifi"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in ITE Tech Consumer Infrared Driver for Windows 10 Advisory","id":"CVE-2018-3702"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection vulnerability in the installer for Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver for Microsoft Windows 7 before version","id":"CVE-2018-3700"},"products":["Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software Advisory"],"published":"2019-05-17","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi","id":"CVE-2020-12313","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-13"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-20789","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Null dereference in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-20727","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Missing authorization in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software","id":"CVE-2026-20741","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software","id":"CVE-2026-20776","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-22887","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-24911","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-11"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to improper directory permissions in the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software installer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-3701/"}
