Vulnerability Assessment
| Weakness |
CWE
ASVS 5.0
V8 - Authorization Unnecessary privilege execution
|
| Exploitation Conditions | A local Windows user with standard privileges must be able to interact with the system running HP Omen Gaming Hub version earlier than 1101.2603. The affected service runs with SYSTEM-level privileges by default; no special configuration or user interaction beyond normal local access is required. The attack is not remotely exploitable. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.3 reflects attack vector Local (AV:L), low attack complexity (AC:L), a required attack technique (AT:P), low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC/VI/VA:H, no scope change). EPSS probability is 0.01% (3rd percentile), suggesting minimal real-world exploitation activity. CISA SSVC decision parameters indicate no active exploitation and non-automatable exploitation, yet total technical impact. While the vulnerability is theoretically severe, the local attack vector, low exploitation probability, and non-automatability reduce the urgency compared to remotely exploitable flaws. The existence of a publicly available Nuclei template (exploit code) confirms the issue is reproducible but does not change the overall low active risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a standard local user account on a Windows machine runs HP Omen Gaming Hub. Using publicly available exploit techniques (e.g., the Nuclei detection template), the attacker manipulates the vulnerable service to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM, gaining full control over the system. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 27, 2026
Local privilege escalation in HP Omen Gaming Hub versions prior to 1101.2603 allows a low-privileged local attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. A public proof-of-concept detection template exists, but no active exploitation has been reported. The vulnerability is rated High severity with an EPSS of 0.01%, indicating low near-term exploitation probability.
RemediationAI
Upgrade HP Omen Gaming Hub to version 1101.2603 or later, as detailed in HP advisory HPSBGN04101. No official workaround is documented. If immediate patching is not possible, consider uninstalling the software or strictly controlling interactive local user access until the update can be applied. Note that uninstalling the hub may remove gaming-specific performance and lighting management features.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-250: Execution with Unnecessary Privileges. HP Omen Gaming Hub, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:hp_inc.:omen_gaming_hub, includes a component (likely a background service or agent) that runs with elevated SYSTEM rights. A local authenticated user can leverage this overly privileged process to execute arbitrary operations outside the intended user context, leading to full system compromise. The vendor advisory (HP HPSBGN04101) confirms the flaw and provides a patched version.
