CVE-2025-14432 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-532, which involves the insertion of sensitive information into log files. Specifically, in HP Inc's Poly G7500 video conferencing device, when an administrator modifies device configurations using Microsoft Teams Admin Center (TAC), sensitive data may be inadvertently recorded in log files. These logs are only accessible to users with administrative privileges, limiting exposure but still posing a risk if admin credentials are compromised or if logs are improperly handled. The vulnerability does not affect configuration changes made via the provisioning server or the device's WebUI, isolating the issue to the TAC interface. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates the vulnerability can be exploited remotely over the network without authentication (AV:N, AC:L, AT:N), but requires high privileges (PR:H) and user interaction (UI:A). The impact on confidentiality is high (VC:H), while integrity and availability impacts are none. The vulnerability was published on December 16, 2025, with no known exploits in the wild at this time. The root cause is improper handling of sensitive data during logging operations, which can lead to exposure of confidential information such as credentials or configuration secrets within administrative logs. This can facilitate further attacks if logs are accessed by unauthorized parties or if admin credentials are compromised. The vulnerability affects all versions of the Poly G7500 device as indicated, emphasizing the need for patching or mitigation.

For European organizations, the primary impact is the potential exposure of sensitive administrative data within log files on Poly G7500 devices managed via Microsoft TAC. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure of credentials or configuration details if an attacker gains access to admin accounts or log files. Given the high confidentiality impact, this could facilitate lateral movement, privilege escalation, or further compromise of communication infrastructure. Organizations relying heavily on Poly G7500 for video conferencing, especially in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, or government, face increased risk of data breaches or compliance violations. The vulnerability does not directly affect device availability or integrity but undermines trust in administrative security controls. Since exploitation requires admin privileges and user interaction, insider threats or targeted phishing attacks against administrators are the most likely vectors. The lack of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially as attackers may develop exploits post-disclosure. The impact is heightened in environments where logs are not properly secured or monitored, increasing the chance of sensitive data leakage.

1. Restrict access to Microsoft Teams Admin Center (TAC) strictly to trusted administrators and enforce strong multi-factor authentication to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 2. Limit access to log files on Poly G7500 devices to only essential personnel and implement strict file permissions and audit logging to detect unauthorized access. 3. Regularly review and sanitize logs to remove sensitive information where feasible, or implement log management solutions that redact sensitive data. 4. Monitor administrative activities and log access patterns for anomalies that could indicate exploitation attempts or insider threats. 5. Coordinate with HP Inc and Microsoft for any available patches or updates addressing this vulnerability and apply them promptly once released. 6. Consider using alternative configuration methods (provisioning server or device WebUI) that are not affected by this vulnerability until a fix is available. 7. Educate administrators about the risks of sensitive data exposure in logs and best practices for secure device management. 8. Employ network segmentation to isolate management interfaces and reduce exposure to potential attackers.
