CVE-2024-8733

Local privilege escalation via untrusted search path

Published Oct 2, 2024 · Updated Oct 2, 2024

Untrusted search path handling in HP One Agent Software before 1.1.0.61524 allows local users to elevate privileges on Windows PCs. HP identifies the weakness as an untrusted search path but does not disclose the affected executable, searched resource, or writable path. Local access is required; successful exploitation grants elevated rights that can alter data or interrupt the host, while disclosed confidentiality impact is limited.
