Fabric Operating System

A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the WebTools administrative interface handling configuration download or file transfer operations of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. An authenticated user with permissions to perform configuration downloads using remote server profiles can overflow stack buffers causing a crash of the weblinker daemon.Show less

A command injection vulnerability exists in the WebTools administrative interface handling configuration download or file transfer operations of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. An authenticated user with permissions to perform configuration downloads using remote server profiles can supply malicious parameter strings to execute arbitrary shell commands on the switch with root privilegesShow less

An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the web management interface of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d running on the MXG610 platform. An unauthenticated, network-adjacent attacker can exploit an unauthenticated endpoint within the Single Sign-On (SSO) workflow to gain administrative access to the device management interface.Show less

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the REST API management interface of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1 allows an authenticated, high-privileged remote attacker to execute arbitrary system commands with root permissions. An attacker with administrative privileges to configure SSH known host settings can supply specially crafted parameter values containing shell metacharacters to trigger command execution on the host system.Show less

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) session cleanup routines during SSH session termination on Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. An authenticated user authenticating via an external directory or AAA service whose username or profile identifier contains shell metacharacters can trigger arbitrary command execution with root privileges when their remote SSH session closes.Show less

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the internal Command-Line Interface (CLI) authorization handling mechanism of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. An authenticated user or local process that can manipulate the process execution environment can bypass Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) validation checks. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to elevate privileges to rootShow less

An authentication logic and privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the account management interface of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. Under specific conditions, an authenticated user can bypass authorization restrictions intended to prevent modifying another account's access privileges. Exploitation allows a lower-privileged user to assign administrative roles to a target account, leading to localized privilege escalation.Show less

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the account management subsystem of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. When an administrator initiates an account deletion, the system invokes an internal maintenance routine to clean up cryptographic keys associated with the target account. Malformed account names previously accepted by Fabric OS can cause the execution of embedded shell metacharacters, triggering command injection.Show less

A session context forgery vulnerability exists in the web management daemon of Brocade Fabric OS versions 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. When processing local inter-process communication (IPC) storage callbacks, the service accepts and registers session structures including administrative role permissions, user identifiers, and authorization flags—without verifying the identity or authenticity of the sending process. An attacker can obtain elevated administrative privileges on the web management interface without legitimate authentication.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

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.Show less

A logic vulnerability in Brocade Fabric OS versions before 10.0.1 web management framework allows an authenticated, low-privileged user to bypass inner Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) checks under specific environmental conditions. Successful exploitation lowers the system authorization mode for the active session context, allowing access to restricted configuration settings intended exclusively for administrative roles.Show less

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.Show less

An authorization and input validation vulnerability exists in Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. An authenticated user with restricted privileges in one Virtual Fabric can exploit this issue by submitting a specially crafted request containing an arbitrary fabric identifier. This allows the user to perform unauthorized cross-fabric operations and view configuration details within tenants/Virtual Fabrics to which they have not been granted access.Show less

An arbitrary file manipulation vulnerability exists in the WebTools management interface of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. When processing configuration transfer requests, the application fails to properly validate and sanitize a user-supplied status file path parameter. An authenticated administrative user can exploit this issue by submitting a specially crafted status file parameter, causing the underlying process to move an arbitrary system file to a predictable, world-readable temporary directory. This can lead to persistent Denial of Service (DoS), critical system file destruction, host compromise, or sensitive data leakage.Show less

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the configuration management subsystem of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. When performing a configuration download operation, the management daemon will relay configuration parameters, user-supplied relay host strings, and filenames directly to an internal utility script without sufficient character set validation. Because the local utility fails to sanitize shell metacharacters before processing them in a system shell command, a malicious or compromised configuration file can cause arbitrary operating system commands to be executed on a remote local switch when an administrator initiates a configuration download.Show less

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.Show less
