Local privilege escalation through undisclosed mechanism
Published Oct 7, 2024 · Updated Oct 7, 2024
Local privilege escalation in HP Hotkey Support allows local users with low privileges to execute elevated code via unspecified vectors. HP identifies the affected component and impact but has not published the flawed function, input path, or operation that causes the escalation. Exploitation requires existing local low-privilege access and no user interaction; success permits access to or modification of protected data and interruption of the system.
