HP Hotkey Support Software, published on 15 Aug 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-43490 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HP, Inc. HP Hotkey Support Software. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43490/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43490/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-43490","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43490/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-43490","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x38j-58xw-qcw6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HP Hotkey Support","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges via the HPAudioAnalytics service in HP Hotkey Support, requiring users to apply vendor patches.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hp","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"A potential security vulnerability has been identified in the HPAudioAnalytics service included in the HP Hotkey Support software, which might allow escalation of privilege.
