What to do

AI-suggested

To mitigate CVE-2025-21472, European organizations should: 1) Monitor vendor advisories closely and apply firmware or software updates from Qualcomm as soon as patches become available. 2) Restrict physical and local access to devices containing affected Qualcomm chipsets, especially in sensitive environments, to reduce the risk of local exploitation. 3) Implement strict device usage policies and endpoint security controls to detect and prevent unauthorized access or debugging attempts. 4) Conduct audits of device logs and debug settings to ensure that debug logging is disabled or properly secured in production devices. 5) For organizations developing products with affected chipsets, ensure that debug code is fully removed or disabled before deployment. 6) Employ encryption and secure key management practices to minimize the impact of any potential information leakage. 7) Educate users and administrators about the risks of local access vulnerabilities and encourage prompt reporting of suspicious device behavior. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on controlling local access, verifying debug configurations, and preparing for vendor patches.
