CVE-2025-24307 is a vulnerability identified in Intel(R) CIP software versions prior to WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 that allows for escalation of privilege due to improper privilege management within user-space applications (Ring 3). The flaw permits an authenticated but unprivileged user to perform a complex attack via network access that can lead to low-level integrity compromise by manipulating data within the vulnerable application. The attack does not require user interaction or special internal knowledge, but it does require authentication and a high attack complexity, limiting the ease of exploitation. The vulnerability does not affect confidentiality or availability directly and does not extend beyond the application context to system-wide impacts. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 2.3, reflecting a low severity due to limited impact and high complexity. The vulnerability highlights a weakness in privilege separation and access control within Intel CIP software, which is used in various Intel platforms for content protection and management. The lack of patch links suggests the fix is available in version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 or later, and users should upgrade promptly. This vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks where an adversary has authenticated access, potentially enabling manipulation of application data, which may have downstream effects depending on the deployment context.

For European organizations, the primary impact is a low-level integrity risk within applications using Intel CIP software prior to the fixed version. While confidentiality and availability are not directly affected, data manipulation could disrupt business processes or lead to incorrect application behavior. Organizations relying on Intel CIP for content protection or digital rights management may see reduced trustworthiness of these functions. The requirement for authenticated access and high attack complexity reduces the likelihood of widespread exploitation but does not eliminate risk in environments with many authenticated users or where insider threats exist. The vulnerability could be exploited in networked environments without user interaction, increasing the attack surface in enterprise settings. The limited scope means critical infrastructure or sensitive data systems are less likely to be directly compromised, but indirect impacts through corrupted application data could occur. Overall, the threat is moderate for European enterprises but warrants attention in sectors with high reliance on Intel CIP software.

1. Upgrade Intel CIP software to version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 or later immediately to apply the official fix. 2. Implement strict access control policies to minimize the number of users with authenticated access to systems running vulnerable Intel CIP versions. 3. Monitor network traffic and user activities for unusual patterns that could indicate attempts to exploit this vulnerability, focusing on authenticated sessions. 4. Employ application whitelisting and integrity monitoring to detect unauthorized changes to Intel CIP software components. 5. Conduct regular audits of user privileges and remove unnecessary accounts or permissions to reduce the attack surface. 6. Isolate systems running Intel CIP software from untrusted networks where possible to limit exposure. 7. Educate system administrators and security teams about the vulnerability specifics to improve detection and response capabilities. 8. Coordinate with Intel support channels for any additional patches or guidance as they become available.
