Privilege escalation via privileged file overwrite
Published May 6, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Privileged file overwrite in HP Application Enabling Software Driver before 1.64.3630.0 allows local users to escalate privileges. HP identifies the vulnerable operation as a privileged file overwrite but has not published the affected file-handling locus or how attacker-controlled paths reach it. Exploitation requires existing high privileges and high-complexity local conditions, and successful attacks can alter data and interrupt availability.
