Last modified

CVE-2026-20728 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.4/10 on the CVSS scale. Protection mechanism failure for some Intel Extension for TensorFlow software before version 2.15.0.3 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege.

Description

Protection mechanism failure for some Intel Extension for TensorFlow software before version 2.15.0.3 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low 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 passive 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.
