Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Improper input validation for some Intel(R) Neural Compressor software before version v3.7 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.
