{"id":"CVE-2026-35060","kind":"vulnerability","aliases":["CVE-2026-35060"],"related":[],"title":"Intel AI Playground: missing authentication lets a local user escalate privileges","description":"Missing authentication for critical function for some AI Playground software before version v3.1.1-beta within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated 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 no user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (low), integrity (low) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.","summary":"AI Playground versions before v3.1.1-beta lack authentication on a critical function, so a local user with an account can escalate privileges on the machine.
