CVE-2026-14443

8.4

Brocade · SANnav

Brocade SANnav fails to sanitize logs during IPsec policy collection, causing sensitive pre-shared keys to be written to system logs where they are accessible to unauthorized users.

Executive summary

A vulnerability in Brocade SANnav versions before 3.0.1a allows authenticated users with log access to retrieve sensitive pre-shared keys, potentially compromising encrypted network tunnels.

Vulnerability

This is an information exposure vulnerability (CWE-532) where sensitive pre-shared keys are improperly written to system logs during bulk IPsec policy collection, accessible to users with low-level read permissions.

Business impact

The exposure of pre-shared keys directly undermines the confidentiality and integrity of encrypted network tunnels managed by the SANnav software. With a CVSS score of 8.4, this vulnerability represents a high-severity risk that could lead to unauthorized interception of sensitive data traffic, potentially resulting in significant data breaches and regulatory non-compliance.

Remediation

Immediate Action: Update Brocade SANnav to version 3.0.1a or later to resolve the log sanitization flaw.

Proactive Monitoring: Review access control lists for container logs and support archives to identify unauthorized access attempts by non-administrative users.

Compensating Controls: Restrict access to system logs and sensitive support archives to the absolute minimum number of authorized personnel until the patch can be applied.

Exploitation status

Public Exploit Available: No

Analyst recommendation

Given the high impact of potential network tunnel compromise, organizations must prioritize the transition to version 3.0.1a. Administrators should treat this update as a critical security maintenance task to ensure that sensitive cryptographic material is no longer persisted in plain text within system logs.
