Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable system is bound to a protocol stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared proximity (e.g., Bluetooth, NFC, or IEEE 802.11) or logical network (e.g., local IP subnet), or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN within an administrative network zone).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker requires privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable system allowing full access to the vulnerable system’s settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: High: There is a total loss of confidentiality, resulting in all information within the Vulnerable System being divulged to the attacker. Alternatively, access to only some restricted information is obtained, but the disclosed information presents a direct, serious impact. For example, an attacker steals the administrator's password, or private encryption keys of a web server.
Vulnerable system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 11 Nov 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Intel(R) CIP software to 2.4.0.11001.

AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately verify their Intel CIP software versions and upgrade to WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 or later where the vulnerability is patched. In the absence of an official patch, apply strict access controls to limit privileged user accounts and monitor their activities closely. Implement network segmentation to reduce the risk of adjacent access exploitation, restricting access to systems running vulnerable software to trusted hosts only. Employ robust endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to identify anomalous behaviors indicative of exploitation attempts. Conduct regular audits of privileged access and enforce the principle of least privilege to minimize the attack surface. Additionally, organizations should enhance logging and monitoring around Intel CIP software usage to detect potential information disclosure attempts. Security awareness training should emphasize the risks associated with privileged account misuse. Finally, coordinate with Intel and security vendors for updates and advisories to stay informed about emerging threats or patches.

Description

Improper access control for some Intel(R) CIP software before version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an information disclosure. Unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. This result may potentially occur via adjacent access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Impact

For European organizations, the primary impact of CVE-2025-24516 is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information processed or stored by Intel CIP software. This could include intellectual property, personal data, or operational information, depending on the deployment context. Since the vulnerability requires privileged user access, environments with lax privilege management or shared privileged accounts are at higher risk. Confidentiality breaches can lead to regulatory non-compliance under GDPR, resulting in legal and financial penalties. Although integrity and availability are not affected, the exposure of sensitive data can facilitate subsequent attacks such as phishing, social engineering, or lateral movement within networks. Organizations in sectors with high reliance on Intel CIP software, such as manufacturing, telecommunications, or critical infrastructure, may face increased operational risks and reputational damage if exploited. The absence of known exploits in the wild suggests a window for proactive mitigation before widespread exploitation occurs.
