HP laptops with an audio driver developed by audio chip maker Conexant were found recording keystrokes in an unencrypted file. The drivers original purpose was to listen for the activation of specific keys, but a debugging feature built into it allows for all keystroke to be logged and saved in a public directory. Cybercriminals could leverage the existence of the file to gain access to passwords, authentication credentials, or any other data. The unintended feature has already been assigned a CVE (CVE-2017-8360)”]
