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-2025-24491 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) Killer(TM) Performance Suite 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-2025-24491/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-24491/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-24491","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-24491/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-24491","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f49m-8j57-pr33"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel Killer Performance Suite","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An unprivileged local attacker can escalate privileges via uncontrolled search path in Intel Killer Performance Suite, requiring user interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) Killer(TM) Performance Suite software before version killer 4.0 40.25.509.1465 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege.
