What is CVE-2022-32294?

The Zimbra Collaboration Open Source version 8.8.15 fails to properly encrypt the randomly generated initial-login password created by the 'zmprove ca' command. Instead, this sensitive password is transmitted in cleartext over UDP port 514, which is typically used for syslog communications, posing a significant security risk. While some reports indicate that this issue may not be reproducible, it raises concerns about password exposure and overall security in the transmission of sensitive data.
