HP Inc. is a public company providing personal computing and printing technologies, but its security posture is compromised by a history of leaving critical RCE vulnerabilities unpatched in its HPLIP software for extended periods. This reactive approach to patching creates significant risk for defense-industrial-base environments relying on its imaging and printing solutions.

SECURITY POSTURE
HP Inc. demonstrated a reactive security posture in 2026, with multiple critical RCE vulnerabilities in its HPLIP software remaining unpatched for an extended period before remediation. The company's track record shows a pattern of delayed patching for edge-device software, allowing critical flaws to persist in the wild.
Notable failures
- CVE-2026-91101: Unpatched RCE in HPLIP
- CVE-2026-91097: Unpatched RCE in HPLIP
- CVE-2026-91098: Unpatched RCE in HPLIP
- CVE-2026-91099: Unpatched RCE in HPLIP
- CVE-2026-91103: Unpatched RCE in HPLIP
- CVE-2026-91100: Unpatched RCE in HPLIP
Patterns: repeated unpatched edge-device RCEs; delayed remediation of critical vulnerabilities
