CVE-2025-24847: 
Intel Computing Improvement Program vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-24847 is an improper input validation vulnerability in Intel Computing Improvement Program (CIP) software affecting versions before WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001, operating within Ring 3 (User Applications). The vulnerability can lead to information disclosure when exploited by an unprivileged adversary in conjunction with a privileged user account. It was published on November 11, 2025, with a patch made available on November 26, 2025. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.5 (Medium) and a CVSS v4.0 base score of 5.7 (Medium) (Intel Advisory, Red Hat CVE).

The root cause is improper input validation (CWE-20) within the Ring 3 user application layer of Intel CIP software. An attacker with network access can exploit this flaw by leveraging a privileged user account in a low-complexity attack that requires passive user interaction. The attack vector is network-based, with attack requirements present (CVSS v4.0 AT:P), meaning specific preconditions must be met for exploitation to succeed. No special internal knowledge of the target system is required beyond the privileged user context (Intel Advisory, Red Hat CVE).

Successful exploitation results in a high confidentiality impact on the vulnerable system, with no impact to integrity or availability. Sensitive data from the affected Intel CIP installation may be exposed to an adversary via network access. The scope is limited to the vulnerable system itself, with no downstream or lateral impact to subsequent systems indicated (Intel Advisory).

There is no known public proof-of-concept exploit and no evidence of in-the-wild exploitation at this time. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. The EPSS score is approximately 0.042%, reflecting a very low probability of exploitation in the near term (Red Hat CVE, Intel Advisory).

Intel recommends upgrading the Intel Computing Improvement Program (CIP) software to version WIN_DCA_2.4.0.11001 or later, which addresses the improper input validation flaw. As interim measures, organizations should limit network access for privileged users running Intel CIP, implement strict user interaction controls, and monitor for unauthorized information disclosure. Regular security audits of user applications are also advised (Intel Advisory).
