hplip is vulnerable to authorization bypass. The check_permission_v1 function in base/pkit.py does not properly use D-Bus for communications with a polkit authority. A race condition in the PolkitUnixProcess PolkitSubject allows a local user to bypass access restrictions via a setuid or pkexec process.
