"Hello list,

this report is about the problematic use of fixed temporary paths in the
`hpps` program from the hplip [1] project. Hplip is a collection of
utilities for HP printer and scanner devices.

There is currently no upstream fix available for this issue and this
publication happens after 90 days of attempted coordinated disclosure,
but upstream did not react to my report."
