CVE-2025-35990
Improper input validation for some Intel Endpoint Management Assistant (EMA) software before version 1.14.5 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege.
Published May 12, 2026 · updated Oct 14, 2026 · intel endpoint management assistant
Improper input validation for some Intel Endpoint Management Assistant (EMA) software before version 1.14.5 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. 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 (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
