Ameeba’s Mission: Safeguarding privacy by securing data and communication with our patented anonymization technology.

Overview

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, vulnerabilities are detected and patched regularly. One such vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-22843, is of particular concern due to its potential to enable an authenticated user to escalate privileges via local access. This identified flaw lies in the Incorrect execution-assigned permissions for some Edge Orchestrator software for Intel(R) Tiber™ Edge Platform. The vulnerability affects the Intel® Tiber™ Edge Platform, a leading-edge platform widely used across various sectors. This article aims to bring light to this vulnerability, summarizing its potential impact, and providing mitigation guidance.

How the Exploit Works

The privilege escalation vulnerability CVE-2025-22843 stems from incorrect execution-assigned permissions in the Edge Orchestrator software for Intel(R) Tiber™ Edge Platform. This incorrect permission assignment allows an authenticated user with local access to potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
This vulnerability is particularly dangerous because an attacker, once they’ve gained access to the system, can potentially gain higher levels of access than initially intended. This could lead to a full system compromise, where the attacker gains complete control over the system, or data leakage, where the attacker has access to sensitive data that they would not otherwise be able to access.

Conceptual Example Code

This is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited via shell commands:

# The attacker first logs in as a regular user
$ ssh user@target.example.com
# Using the vulnerability, the attacker escalates to root
$ exploit-cve-2025-22843
# Now the attacker has root privileges
$ id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

The above is a simplified example and the actual process of exploiting this vulnerability would depend on a variety of factors, including the specific configuration of the targeted system. The goal of this example is to illustrate the potential severity of this vulnerability, not to provide a roadmap for exploitation.

Recommendation

To mitigate this vulnerability, users are advised to apply the vendor patch as soon as it becomes available. In the interim, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used as a temporary mitigation measure.
