CVE-2024-5460: Brocade Fabric OS versions prior to v9.0 have default community strings

First published: Tue Jun 25 2024(Updated: )

The vulnerability is due to hard-coded, default community string in the configuration file for the SNMP daemon. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by using the static community string in SNMP version 1 queries to an affected device.
