# Intel VTune Profiler: incorrect default permissions allow local privilege escalation

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-28702 (this .md is for agents)

Intel VTune Profiler ships with incorrect default file or folder permissions, so an unprivileged user-level program can escalate its privileges. The sources describe a high-complexity attack with no user interaction and a CVSS of 6.3 (medium).

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## From the sources

Incorrect default permissions for the Intel(R) VTune(TM) Profiler software within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via network access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
