An authentication bypass and command injection vulnerability exists in the inter-switch remote execution service of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. When processing remote command execution IPC frames across the fabric, the receiving switch processes these commands at an elevated processing level without proper verification of transmitted parameters. This allows an attacker on a single fabric-connected switch to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary root commands locally or across other managed fabric members where remote execution functionality is enabled.

Arbitrary Shell Command Execution via Unsanitized Parameters in Brocade Fabric OS Upgrade Process

Brocade Fabric versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1 handling of specific download protocols utilizes unsanitized parameter strings. When processing upgrade requests, parameters are converted into system command strings and executed through a system shell interface. Because control characters and shell metacharacters in fields like the host or file path are not stripped or sanitized, an attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands with the firmware management daemon's elevated privileges.

Persistent Denial of Service via Corrupted Apache Configuration in Brocade Fabric OS

Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1 directly accepts Apache configuration file data during service setup or re-initialization. An attacker capable of corrupting the configuration structure will prevent the web management service from starting or recovering during service bring-up, leading to a persistent Denial of Service (DoS) of the administrative web interface.

Impaired Input Validation Causing Local Authenticated Denial of Service in Brocade ASCG

An Improper Input Validation vulnerability for the registered case credentials in Brocade ASCG before v3.0 could allow a local authenticated user to provide invalid inputs like special characters leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) when collecting “supportsave” from a Brocade Switch.

Missing Security Headers Enable Unauthenticated XSS and Clickjacking on Brocade ASCG

In Brocade ASCG before Brocade ASCG v3.0, several security-related HTTP Headers were missing in various Brocade ASCG URL paths, aiding unauthenticated attackers to perform attacks such as Cross-Site Scripting, Clickjacking, Information disclosure, and more.

Local Authenticated Path Traversal in Brocade SANnav Zone Alias Import

A path traversal vulnerability affects the The Zone Alias Import flow feature in Brocade SANnav before 3.0.0a. A local authenticated attacker can write an uploaded content outside the intended directory.

Authenticated SQL Injection in Brocade SANnav REST API

In Brocade SANnav before 3.0.0a, an SQL Injection vulnerability in various external API inventories have a vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker to inject malicious data into some of the REST API -query parameters.

Information Disclosure of Authentication Tokens via Log Files in Brocade SANnav

A vulnerability in Brocade SANnav before 2.4.0b and 3.0.0 prints encoded passwords and  authentication tokens in log files. The vulnerability could allow an authenticated attacker with access to the log file including the SANnav supportsave to access the passwords.

Command Injection via Unsanitized Certificate Identifier in Fabric OS API

An input validation vulnerability exists in the security certificate management component of the Brocade Fabric OS administrative management API. When processing certificate management operations, user-supplied certificate identifiers are handled without adequate sanitization prior to execution in external system routines. An authenticated attacker with privileges to perform certificate deletion requests can leverage this flaw to execute arbitrary system commands with the privileges of the underlying management daemon. This vulnerability affects Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1.

Arbitrary File Deletion via REST API in Brocade Fabric OS

An arbitrary file and directory deletion vulnerability exists in the REST API management interface handling USB storage operations on Brocade Fabric OS versions before 10.0.1. An authenticated user possessing USB management privileges can manipulate requested target paths to delete arbitrary files or directories on the switch's local root filesystem, bypassing intended USB mount point boundaries.

Race Condition in Broadcom Fabric OS Web Daemon Enables Potential Access Control Bypass

A race condition and thread-safety vulnerability exists in the web management daemon of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 10.0.1. When handling user authentication requests across a multi-threaded execution pool, this race condition causes PAM modules to process stale or incorrect client IP addresses and switch context numbers. This leads to inaccurate audit records and potential access control bypasses where AAA evaluation or Calling-Station-ID ACL policies rely on client IP attributes.

Local User Privilege Escalation in Fabric OS Diagnostic Kernel Module

An improper file permission and missing authorization vulnerability exists in the diagnostic kernel module subsystem of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. An unprivileged local user can invoke privileged hardware tests, force system error conditions, reset hardware blades, or disrupt storage fabric operations.

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the time and zone management subsystem of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. When updating system timezone settings via the REST API or configuration download routines, the system fails to sanitize input values before processing them in underlying shell execution routines. An authenticated user with low-privilege administrative access can exploit this vulnerability by submitting a crafted timezone string containing shell metacharacters. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to escape the restricted management environment and execute arbitrary shell commands with elevated privileges.

Argument Injection Allows Local Authenticated Users to Read System Files

An argument injection vulnerability exists in the configuration management command-line utility of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. When executing configuration viewing commands with search pattern filters, the utility fails to sanitize user-supplied search string options before passing them to internal search commands. An authenticated user with low-privilege administrative access can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the local operating system, including sensitive configuration files, system password hashes and system secrets.

OS Command Injection in Brocade Fabric OS Maintenance Utilities Allowing Root Privilege Escalation

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in maintenance command-line diagnostic utilities on Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. The binary fails to sanitize user-supplied input options when invoking underlying system commands through a shell interpreter. A privileged user with maintenance account access can exploit this issue by supplying crafted parameters, which results in arbitrary OS command execution with root privileges.

Local Privilege Escalation via Malformed Logging Configuration in Brocade Fabric OS

A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the system logging daemon of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. Insufficient access controls on internal inter-process communication (IPC) channels allow an unprivileged local user to submit malformed logging configurations. Due to improper input sanitization during configuration file generation, an attacker can inject arbitrary directives that execute with elevated privileges when the logging service reloads, leading to local privilege escalation.
