Incomplete log sanitization during bulk IPsec policy collection in Brocade SANnav versions before 3.0.1a permit extension switch pre-shared keys to be written to system logs. Individuals with read access to container logs or support archives can obtain these keys, leading to the potential compromise of encrypted network tunnels.
Improper handling of sensitive data during IPsec policy creation and modification in Brocade SANnav versions before 3.0.1a results in pre-shared keys being recorded in application logs. Individuals with read access to system log files or support bundles can view these credentials, leading to the potential exposure of keys used to secure network tunnels.
Plaintext exposure of sensitive authentication data in Brocade SANnav discovery service log files enables individuals with file read access to retrieve administrative switch credentials and active session tokens. An attacker with access to system logs or support bundles can leverage exposed authentication details to compromise managed network infrastructure and access active application sessions. This vulnerability affects Brocade SANnav versions before 3.0.1a.
Unauthenticated remote command injection in the Brocade SANnav orchestrator HTTP service permits network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary administrative switch CLI commands and issue container management instructions. This could allow an attacker to alter Fibre Channel fabric switch configurations or manipulate application container runtimes. This vulnerability affects Brocade SANnav versions before 3.0.1a.
Insufficient input sanitization of shell metacharacters in the Brocade SANnav CLI scripting component permits authenticated users to break out of restricted execution contexts on managed switches. An attacker with command execution permissions can leverage this flaw to run unauthorized shell commands across target fabric switches, bypassing command allow-lists and obtaining full administrative switch access. This vulnerability affects all Brocade SANnav versions before 3.0.1a.
Insecure access controls on internal service ports in Brocade SANnav versions before 3.0.1a allow local, non-administrative host users to communicate directly with backend management services.

A vulnerability in the migration script for Brocade SANnav before 3.0 could allow the collection of database sql queries in the SANnav support save file. An attacker with access to Brocade SANnav supportsave file, could open the file and then obtain sensitive information such as details of database tables and encrypted passwords.
A vulnerability in update-reports-purge-settings.sh script logging for Brocade SANnav before 2.4.0a could allow the collection of SANnav database password in the system audit logs. The vulnerability could allow a remote authenticated attacker with access to the audit logs to access the Brocade SANnav database password.
Brocade SANnav before 2.4.0b logs the Brocade Fabric OS Switch admin password on the SANnav support save logs.
When OOM occurs on a Brocade SANnav server, the call stack trace for the Brocade switch is also collected in the heap dump file which contains this switch password in clear text. The vulnerability could allow a remote authenticated attacker with admin privilege able to access the SANnav logs or the supportsave to read the switch admin password.
A vulnerability in Brocade SANnav before 2.4.0b prints the Password-Based Encryption (PBE) key in plaintext in the system audit log file. The vulnerability could allow a remote authenticated attacker with access to the audit logs to access the pbe key.
Note: The vulnerability is only triggered during a migration and not in a new installation. The system audit logs are accessible only to a privileged user on the server.
These audit logs are the local server VM’s audit logs and are not controlled by SANnav. These logs are only visible to the server admin of the host server and are not visible to the SANnav admin or any SANnav user.
Brocade SANnav before Brocade SANnav 2.4.0b logs database passwords in clear text in the standby SANnav server, after disaster recovery failover. The vulnerability could allow a remote authenticated attacker with admin privilege able to access the SANnav logs or the supportsave to read the database password.
A vulnerability in the ascgshell, of Brocade ASCG before 3.3.0 stores any command executed in the Command Line Interface (CLI) in plain text within the command history. A local authenticated user that can access sensitive information like passwords within the CLI history leading to unauthorized access and potential data breaches.
Brocade ASCG before 3.3.0 logs JSON Web Tokens (JWT) in log files. An attacker with access to the log files can withdraw the unencrypted tokens with security implications, such as unauthorized access, session hijacking, and information disclosure.
Brocade ASCG before 3.3.0 allows for the use of medium strength cryptography algorithms on internal ports ports 9000 and 8036.
Brocade SANnav before Brocade SANnav 2.4.0a could log database passwords in clear text in audit logs when the daily data dump collector invokes docker exec commands.

Brocade ASCG before 3.2.0 Web Interface is not enforcing HSTS, as defined by RFC 6797. HSTS is an optional response header that can be configured on the server to instruct the browser to only communicate via HTTPS. The lack of HSTS allows downgrade attacks, SSL-stripping man-in-the-middle attacks, and weakens cookie-hijacking protections.
Implementation of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) operating on the Brocade 6547 (FC5022) embedded switch blade, makes internal script calls to system.sh from within the SNMP binary. An authenticated attacker could perform command or parameter injection on SNMP operations that are only enabled on the Brocade 6547 (FC5022) embedded switch. This injection could allow the authenticated attacker to issue commands as Root.
