CVE-2025-4661

Admin-level file disclosure via CLI path traversal

Published Jun 19, 2025 · Updated Jun 20, 2025

Path traversal in the CLI of Brocade Fabric OS 9.1.0 through 9.2.2 allows local users with admin access to read sensitive files. Brocade identifies the CLI as the affected component but has not disclosed the command, file-path input, or validation error. Exploitation requires admin-level privileges on the switch, and the reported consequence is limited to disclosure of files outside the intended directory.
