Local privilege escalation
Published Jul 19, 2024 · Updated Nov 13, 2024
Privilege escalation in HP Display Control allows local users to gain elevated privileges through HP Application Enabling Software Driver. HP has not published the flawed code path or the operation that improperly preserves permissions, so the precise mechanism remains undisclosed. Exploitation requires local low-privilege access and high attack complexity; successful exploitation elevates privileges on the local system.
