CVE-2026-85417 · Severity: info · Published 2026-09-25

Brocade SANnav, a network management platform for SAN switch environments, fails to properly mask SNMP authentication and privacy passwords when writing to application logs.

## Technical details

The SANnav logging subsystem incompletely masks sensitive properties, allowing SNMP authentication and privacy passwords to be recorded in plaintext under specific configuration conditions. The vulnerability is exploitable by any user with read access to application logs or support bundles, requiring no network access or authentication to the SANnav application itself once log access is obtained. This is classified as CWE-532 (insertion of sensitive information into log files).
