Privilege escalation via improper Sudo access controls
Published Jul 22, 2025 · Updated Jul 23, 2025
Privilege escalation in HP Poly Clariti Manager before 10.12.2 allows remote authenticated users to gain higher privileges through Sudo. The firmware's Sudo access-control implementation fails to enforce its intended restriction, but HP has not disclosed the affected rule, file, or command path. Exploitation requires adjacent-network access and existing high privileges; the reported consequence includes elevated access to data and system functions.
