Workaround

In addition, as a further mitigation and aligned with standard security best practices, Poly also recommends that customers change the Admin password on the phones from a default or weak password to a strong (minimum 10 character) password. This mitigation limits the ability of the attacker to compromise the phone and is the quickest measure that can be taken to reduce risk.
