CVE-2026-42966 · Package
NO FIX YET · SEE WHAT TO DO
Some versions of Intel Neural Compressor before 3.8 fail to handle an exception in user-level code, which can let a local, authenticated user gain elevated privileges. The attacker needs a local account on the machine and no user interaction is required.

Free first check from your website. Connect your repo for the full answer.
Only machines where Intel Neural Compressor below 3.8 is installed and where a local, authenticated user could run code are plausibly exposed. Systems with a single trusted user, or where the library is not installed, can skip it. Exact affected configurations are unknown from the sources.
Not affected if library-not-installed, version-3.8-or-later

pip show neural-compressor (version unknown from sources for other install methods)3.8 or laterUncaught exception for some Intel(R) Neural Compressor software before version 3.8 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 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.
