A potential security vulnerability has been identified in the HP Support Assistant for versions prior to 9.44.18.0. The vulnerability could potentially allow a local attacker to escalate privileges via an arbitrary file write.
Weakness
The product does not preserve permissions or incorrectly preserves permissions when copying, restoring, or sharing objects, which can cause them to have less restrictive permissions than intended.
