CVE-2026-94585

A critical authorization bypass vulnerability exists in the Management Server handling of Brocade Fabric OS versions before 10.0.1. A compromised switch connected to the fabric can transmit crafted inband Fibre Channel vendor-unique CT (Common Transport) management requests to bypass administrative authentication. Successful exploitation allows an unauthorized peer switch to execute administrative actions on the target device, including resetting administrative passwords, initiating system reboots, and triggering firmware downloads.

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

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 privileges.

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.

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the PAM session cleanup routines during SSH session termination on Brocade Fabric OS before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. An authenticated user whose username or profile identifier contains shell metacharacters can trigger arbitrary command execution with root privileges.

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 root.

An authentication logic and privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the account management interface of Brocade Fabric OS before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1. An authenticated user can bypass authorization restrictions and assign administrative roles to a target account, leading to localized privilege escalation.

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the account management subsystem of Brocade Fabric OS 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, and malformed account names can cause the execution of embedded shell metacharacters.

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.
