The vulnerability exists in the printer’s Remote Firmware Update process. HP downplayed the researchers’ claims, labeling them “sensational and inaccurate” It disputed media reports that the flaw would let hackers set the printers on fire and said that safety mechanisms built into the printers precluded that from happening. HP said it is working on a firmware update for the issue.”]
