# Intel Graphics Software: search path flaw lets local user gain higher privileges

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-57884 (this .md is for agents)

Some versions of Intel Graphics Software load code from an uncontrolled search path when run from user space. A local user with an ordinary account can use this to escalate privileges, which needs high complexity conditions and user interaction.

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

## How to check

- Check the installed Intel Graphics Software version in the application's about screen or installed programs list
- Compare it with the fixed version below; anything older is in scope

## Fix

- Intel Graphics Software: move to `26.14.2303.1` or later

## Timeline

- 2026-11-10T17:22:44+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-57884

## From the sources

Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) Graphics Software before version 26.14.2303.1 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high 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 active 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.
