CVE-2025-1003

Local privilege escalation via authentication bypass

Published Feb 3, 2025 · Updated Feb 4, 2025

Authentication bypass in HP Anyware Agent for Linux allows local users to escalate privileges through session retry handling. The bulletin links exposure to the pcoip.session_retry_timeout setting but does not disclose the affected function or failed privilege-drop check. Exploitation requires local access and no prior privileges; successful attacks can expose or alter host data without causing a reported service interruption.
