Auth bypass in Intel Proset\/wireless Wifi
CVE-2026-20752
Improper authentication for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software within Ring 0: Kernel may allow an information disclosure. System software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable data exposure. 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 (high), integrity (none) and availability (none) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
