CVE-2024-2860

Local sensitive-data access via incorrect PostgreSQL authentication

Published May 8, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Incorrect local authentication in PostgreSQL for Brocade SANnav before 2.3.0a allows local users to access sensitive database data. Broadcom identifies PostgreSQL as the affected component but has not published the authentication check, configuration, or credential handling that fails. Access to the SANnav virtual machine and low local privileges are required; successful exploitation exposes database contents to the local user.
