CVE-2026-20799

Untrusted search path for some Battery Life Diagnostic Tool software before version 2.9.0 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege.

Vendor / product: Intel — battery life diagnostic tool

Untrusted search path for some Battery Life Diagnostic Tool software before version 2.9.0 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 not present with special internal knowledge and requires passive 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.
