Incorrect Default Permissions in Intel Battery Life Tool Allow Privilege Escalation

Publication date: 2026-02-10

Last updated on: 2026-02-10

Assigner: Intel Corporation

Description
Incorrect default permissions for some Intel(R) Battery Life Diagnostic Tool within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can potentially impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the vulnerable system at a high level. However, the description notes that the resulting impact on system confidentiality, integrity, and availability is none, indicating that while the vulnerability allows privilege escalation, it may not directly lead to further system compromise.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability involves incorrect default permissions in the Intel Battery Life Diagnostic Tool within Ring 3: User Applications. It may allow an unprivileged software adversary, who is an authenticated user, to escalate their privileges on the system. The attack requires local access, a high complexity effort, and active user interaction, but does not require special internal knowledge.
