Vulnerability Data

CalInvocationHandler in Brocade SANnav before 2.3.1b logs sensitive information in clear text. The vulnerability could allow an authenticated, local attacker to view Brocade Fabric OS switch sensitive information in clear text. An attacker with administrative privileges could retrieve sensitive information…

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-28 Protection of Information at Rest good match

SC-28 requires cryptographic or equivalent protection of sensitive data at rest, directly stopping cleartext storage in accessible resources.
