Brocade Webtools in Brocade Fabric OS versions before Brocade Fabric OS versions v9.1.1, v9.0.1e, and v8.2.3c could allow a low privilege webtools, user, to gain elevated admin rights, or privileges, beyond what is intended or entitled for that user. By exploiting this vulnerability, a user whose role is not an admin can create a new user with an admin role using the operator session id. The issue was replicated after intercepting the admin, and operator authorization headers sent unencrypted and editing a user addition request to use the operator’s authorization header.

In Brocade SANnav before Brocade SANnav v2.2.0.2 and Brocade SANnav2.1.1.8, encoded scp-server passwords are stored using Base64 encoding, which could allow an attacker able to access log files to easily decode the passwords.

Brocade SANnav before Brocade SANvav v. 2.2.0.2 and Brocade SANanv v.2.1.1.8 logs the Brocade Fabric OS switch password in plain text in asyncjobscheduler-manager.log

A vulnerability in the role-based access control (RBAC) functionality of the Brocade SANNav before 2.2.0 could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to access resources that they should not be able to access and perform actions that they should not be able to perform. The vulnerability exists because restrictions are not performed on Server side to ensure the user has required permission before processing requests.

Brocade SANnav before SANnav 2.2.0 application uses the Blowfish symmetric encryption algorithm for the storage of passwords. This could allow an authenticated attacker to decrypt stored account passwords.
