Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This issue affects Intel RealSense D400 Series Dynamic Calibration Tool versions before 2.11. A logged-in local user could potentially gain higher privileges because the tool used incorrect default permissions. The available sources do not provide CVSS details or evidence of active exploitation.
Executive priority
Treat as a targeted local privilege risk, not an internet-scale emergency based on available evidence. Prioritize remediation on shared or sensitive workstations where RealSense D400 tooling is installed.
Technical view
CVE-2020-12306 is a local authenticated escalation-of-privilege flaw caused by incorrect default permissions in Intel RealSense D400 Series Dynamic Calibration Tool before version 2.11. The source bundle does not include CWE, CVSS vector, vulnerable file details, or exploitability prerequisites beyond authenticated local access.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to systems with Intel RealSense D400 Series Dynamic Calibration Tool before 2.11 installed. Risk is most relevant on shared engineering, lab, imaging, robotics, or development machines where non-administrative local users can sign in.
Exploitation context
The CVE description requires authenticated local access. The source bundle marks KEV as false and provides no cited evidence of exploitation in the wild, public exploit availability, or remote attack paths.
Researcher notes
Public details are sparse. Analysis should stay anchored to the vendor advisory and CVE record: affected product, versions before 2.11, incorrect default permissions, authenticated local access, and potential privilege escalation. No exploit mechanics are provided in the source bundle.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory systems for Intel RealSense D400 Series Dynamic Calibration Tool installations.
- Upgrade affected installations to version 2.11 or later where applicable.
- Review Intel advisory INTEL-SA-00408 for vendor-specific remediation details.
- Restrict local interactive access to systems running the tool until remediated.
Validation and detection
- Confirm the installed Dynamic Calibration Tool version on relevant systems.
- Verify no installations remain below version 2.11.
- Check endpoint inventory for lab or engineering machines using RealSense D400 tooling.
- Document remediation status and any systems requiring vendor guidance.
