Credential disclosure via unredacted SupportSave logging

Published Apr 18, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Cleartext credential storage in Broadcom Brocade SANnav allows remote authenticated users to retrieve the SANnav password from logs. When a user schedules switch SupportSave, the application writes the password without encryption or redaction into supportsave logs. Access to those logs is required, and the reported consequence is limited to disclosure of the stored password.
