HP Photosmart printer driver for Mac OS X installs the hp_imaging_connectivity program and the hp_imaging_connectivity.app directory with world-writable permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges of other Photosmart users by replacing hp_imaging_connectivity with a Trojan horse.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Mac OS X HP printer-driver permissions flaw. The driver installed HP imaging connectivity components so any local user could modify them. On shared Macs, that could let one local user plant malicious replacement software and gain another Photosmart user's privileges. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Mac OS X systems with affected HP Photosmart or Deskjet driver software installed, especially multi-user machines. Modern fleets are unlikely to be affected unless old driver packages remain in use. Treat this as a legacy exposure issue. It is not a broad internet-facing emergency, but shared or lab Macs with old HP drivers should be checked and cleaned up during asset hygiene work. Mitigation focus: Check HP or platform-specific vendor guidance for fixed driver packages or removal instructions.; Remove legacy HP Photosmart or Deskjet driver software where it is no longer required.; Restrict local user access on affected shared Macs until remediation is complete..
