Intel oneAPI CLI Tool: Denial of service via improper input validation
Summary
Improper input validation in some Intel oneAPI CLI Tool software allows a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service. The attack requires low complexity and active user interaction, and the impact is limited to low integrity and low availability of the affected system. Intel rates the issue as medium (CVSS 4.0 base score 4.6).
Affected
- Intel oneAPI CLI Tool (oneapi-cli) before version v0.2.13 according to the Intel advisory INTEL-SA-01522
- Exact affected version ranges could not be verified from the retrieved sources; check the advisory directly
Fixed in
- Version v0.2.13 or later (according to Intel)
Workaround
Unknown.
Exploitation
- No evidence of exploitation in the wild found
- Not listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog at the time of research
- No public proof of concept found
Our recommendation
- Inventory whether oneAPI or oneapi-cli is installed on clients, servers and build hosts
- Read Intel advisory INTEL-SA-01522 to confirm affected and fixed versions
- Update oneapi-cli to v0.2.13 or later, downloads at https://github.com/intel/oneapi-cli/releases
- Limit local access to affected machines until the update is applied
- Re-check NVD and the Intel advisory once NVD analysis is complete

Original description (NVD)
Improper input validation for some Intel(R) oneAPI CLI Tool software within Ring 3: User Applications may allow a denial of service. Unprivileged software adversary with an unauthenticated user combined with a low complexity attack may enable denial of service. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are not present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (none), integrity (low) and availability (low) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
