CVE-2026-87674

Local privilege escalation via logging configuration injection

Published Oct 8, 2026 · Updated Oct 8, 2026

Configuration injection in Brocade Fabric OS before 9.2.2d or 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1 allows local users to gain elevated privileges. The system logging daemon accepts malformed configurations through insufficiently restricted IPC and writes unsanitized directives into a configuration file. Exploitation requires unprivileged local access to that IPC channel and a logging-service reload, which executes the injected directives with elevated privileges.
