CVE-2025-10578

Local privilege escalation via arbitrary file write

Published Oct 1, 2025 · Updated Oct 1, 2025

Improper privilege management in HP Support Assistant before 9.47.41.0 allows local users to escalate privileges via an arbitrary file write. HP has not disclosed the affected component, file path, or operation that permits attacker-controlled data to be written with elevated privileges. Exploitation requires local low-privileged access and a separate attack requirement; successful abuse can alter protected files and interrupt the service.
