Intel Driver Update Utility before 2.4 retrieves driver updates in cleartext, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file.

Weakness

The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data.
