We are checking into this and hope to report back son with an update that can be shared publicly.At the risk of sounding snide, come on, it's the updates that CAN'T be shared publicly that would be the most interesting, right? Green Man, thank you your tag and question. Hello TAHIN, thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.
I feel like there would be a bigger commotion if it were true. That's the only thing I can find that says so. Apparently, the functionality of capturing keystrokes is also extremely common, but outputting the data to a file for diagnostic or debugging purposes is new and (I concur) may not be a particularly wise implementation if the keystroke data is written anywhere except when in debug mode. The newest version or two of the driver however, does apparently write the keystrokes more liberally, and drops the output of keystrokes in an insecure API if the file is locked or deleted, which is a far greater problem to me, although all of those issues would require someone accessing the computer directly to make use of the information.
The driver file mentioned is designed to be automatically rewritten blank on every restart. The capability to read and write all keystrokes is supposedly a debugging and diagnostic feature only, that can only be called if the driver is placed into diagnostic or debugging mode. The purpose being that many HP notebooks use this for microphone, volume, and even recording LED controls all built into the driver, and the driver needs to know if any of the applicable special keys or key combinations are pressed. The file is blank intentionally, and used for the sake of diagnostic debugging only, supposedly. So while the driver does technically read all keystrokes, it is not actually supposed save any of them to any file except under specific circumstances. So the purpose of the keylogging functionality in the actual driver is because many/most HP computers that use the driver have Conexant audio chips embedded, and that component of the driver is used to catch/register the function keys on the device that are used to modify sound volume etc. holy mother of blowing this out of proportion. I don't have any of those notebooks, so while I'de love to check for you, I'm sadly unable to verify.Įdit: however, after reading the original article.

Perhaps most troubling is that this driver gets pushed via Windows Updates. It recommends checking if C:\Windows\System32\MicTray.exe exists. The driver is published by Conexant and logs all keystrokes in a session to:Ĭ:\Users\Public\MicTray.log.
