It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-26258 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-26258 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) Killer(TM) Control Center software, published on 12 May 2022. 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-2021-26258 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Killer(TM) Control Center software. 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-2021-26258/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26258/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-26258","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26258/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-26258","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7cxp-c5mg-3m9c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Killer Control Center","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized local user can escalate privileges due to improper access control in Intel Killer Control Center software.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"killer_control_center","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Improper access control for the Intel(R) Killer(TM) Control Center software before version 2.4.3337.0 may allow an authorized user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2022-12-17","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":3,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2022-12-17T00:59:32Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/zwclose/CVE-2021-26258","stars":3,"title":"Files and tools for CVE-2021-26258"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Killer(TM) Control Center software","id":"CVE-2021-26258","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in htmldoc","id":"CVE-2021-26259"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) and Killer(TM) Bluetooth(R) products","id":"CVE-2021-26257"},"products":["Intel(R) Killer(TM) Control Center software"],"published":"2022-05-12","related":[],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authorized local user can escalate privileges due to improper access control in Intel Killer Control Center software.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-26258/"}
