Physical intrusion detection bypass
Published Feb 14, 2024 · Updated Mar 27, 2025
Intrusion detection bypass in HP TamperLock-enabled desktop PCs allows physically proximate attackers to evade cover-opening detection. HP has not published the precise TamperLock component or failing operation that permits a physical attack to escape the chassis-opening sensor and audit path. Exploitation requires physical access to an affected PC, and a successful bypass prevents configured cover-opening responses and records from reliably signaling hardware intrusion.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
