Published Jan 12, 2026 · Updated Jan 12, 2026

Authorization bypass in Broadcom DX NetOps Spectrum 24.3.10 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to escalate privileges. The authorization scheme accepts a user-controlled session key without verifying that the targeted session belongs to the caller. Low-privileged access is required, and administrator sessions can be targeted; Broadcom has not specified the permitted cross-session actions.
