Arbitrary file deletion via undisclosed local mechanism
Published Jan 28, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Arbitrary file deletion in HP Support Assistant before 9.11 allows local users to delete files through an unspecified vector. HP has not published the affected component or how the file-deletion operation mishandles attacker-controlled input. Low-privileged local access is required, and successful exploitation compromises file integrity without reported disclosure or service interruption.
