Intel PSET Application Install wrapper of Intel Parallel Studio XE, Intel System Studio, Intel VTune Amplifier, Intel Inspector, Intel Advisor, Intel MPI Library, Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector, Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, Cryptography for Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, Intel Math Kernel Library, Intel Data Analytics Acceleration Library, and Intel Threading Building Blocks before 2017 Update 2 allows an attacker to launch a process with escalated privileges.
This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.3, requiring local system access to exploit with relatively low complexity though user interaction is required requiring only low-level privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 12 products from intel, from intel, from intel and 9 others, organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
First disclosed in 2017, this vulnerability was reported during a period defined by widespread IoT adoption challenges, mobile security concerns, and the emergence of advanced persistent threat (APT) techniques. Contemporary mitigation strategies focused on secure development practices and third-party component vetting.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For intel's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
