It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-24451 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Optane(TM) DC Persistent Memory installer for Windows*. 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-2020-24451/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24451/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-24451","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24451/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-24451","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9wc4-3575-8q45"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Optane installer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges via an uncontrolled search path in the Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory installer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"optane_dc_persistent_memory_module_management","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Uncontrolled search path in the Intel(R) Optane(TM) DC Persistent Memory installer for Windows* before version 1.00.00.3506 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) Optane(TM) DC Persistent Memory installer for Windows*","id":"CVE-2020-24451","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) SGX Platform Software for Windows*","id":"CVE-2020-24452"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Graphics Drivers","id":"CVE-2020-24450"},"products":["Intel(R) Optane(TM) DC Persistent Memory installer for Windows*"],"published":"2021-02-17","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel® Optane(TM) DC Persistent Memory Module Management Software","id":"CVE-2020-0546","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-12"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges via an uncontrolled search path in the Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory installer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-24451/"}
