**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** gnome-power-manager version 2.14.0 **Description** The issue is related to the improper implementation of the lock on suspend and lock on hibernate settings, which are supposed to lock the screen when the suspend or hibernate button is pressed. This might allow physically proximate attackers to access an unattended laptop via a resume action. **Recommendations** For gnome-power-manager version 2.14.0, consider disabling the suspend and hibernate functions or manually locking the screen before suspending or hibernating the laptop to minimize the risk of exploitation.
