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-2023-38541 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel HID Event Filter drivers for Windows 10 for some Intel NUC laptop software installers. 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-2023-38541/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38541/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-38541","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38541/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-38541","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3gqv-8h4q-fff4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel NUC driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can escalate privileges due to insecure inherited permissions in Intel HID Event Filter drivers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"hid_event_filter_driver","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"},{"id":"CWE-277","name":"Insecure Inherited Permissions"}],"description":"Insecure inherited permissions in some Intel HID Event Filter drivers for Windows 10 for some Intel NUC laptop software installers before version 2.2.2.1 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 HID Event Filter drivers for Windows 10 for some Intel NUC laptop software installers","id":"CVE-2023-38541","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in Secure Access Client Windows","id":"CVE-2023-38543"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it is Unused","id":"CVE-2023-38540"},"products":["Intel HID Event Filter drivers for Windows 10 for some Intel NUC laptop software installers"],"published":"2024-01-19","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) HID Event Filter Driver","id":"CVE-2020-12332","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-12"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) NUC 12 Pro Kits \u0026 Mini PCs - NUC12WS Intel(R) HID Event Filter Driver installation software","id":"CVE-2023-33874","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-14"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) HID Event Filter software installers","id":"CVE-2024-25561","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-14"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local attacker can escalate privileges due to insecure inherited permissions in Intel HID Event Filter drivers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38541/"}
