Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2022-27500 affects the Intel(R) Support Android application before 21.07.40. Incorrect default permissions could let an authenticated local user disclose sensitive information. This is not described as remotely exploitable, but confidentiality impact is high on affected devices.
Executive priority
Handle as a moderate mobile endpoint exposure. Prioritize remediation where affected Android devices handle sensitive data or are shared, unmanaged, or difficult to monitor.
Technical view
The issue is CWE-276: incorrect default permissions. CVSS 3.1 is 5.5 with local attack vector, low complexity, low privileges, no user interaction, unchanged scope, high confidentiality impact, and no integrity or availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure appears limited to Android devices with Intel(R) Support Android application versions before 21.07.40. The source bundle does not identify CPEs, deployment prevalence, or affected Android versions.
Exploitation context
The CVE is not listed as CISA KEV in the provided bundle, and no cited source reports active exploitation. Abuse requires authenticated local access, limiting broad remote exploitation risk.
Researcher notes
Evidence is sparse beyond the CVE metadata and Intel advisory reference. Focus validation on installed version, local permission state, and whether the app exists in managed Android fleets.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory Android devices for the Intel(R) Support Android application.
- Update affected installs to version 21.07.40 or later.
- Check Intel advisory INTEL-SA-00660 for current vendor guidance.
- Remove the app where it is unnecessary and policy permits.
Validation and detection
- Confirm installed app versions are 21.07.40 or later.
- Review MDM inventory for pre-21.07.40 installations.
- Verify updated devices no longer show unsafe local permissions.
- Track exceptions for devices that cannot update promptly.

Incorrect Default Permissions
Incorrect Default Permissions represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
