Administrative disclosure of cleartext sensitive information
Published Feb 27, 2024 · Updated Aug 27, 2025
Information disclosure in ClearPass Policy Manager 6.12.0 allows administrators to retrieve sensitive information in cleartext. HPE identifies neither the affected management function nor the operation exposing the cleartext data, so the mechanism remains undisclosed. The affected set also covers 6.11.6 and earlier and specified 6.10 and 6.9 hotfix levels; administrative access is the documented gate, and the data can enable further access to managed network services.
