Summary

CVE-2024-4282 is a high-severity Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm (CWE-327) vulnerability in Broadcom Brocade Sannav. Its CVSS base score is 8.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Adversary-in-the-Middle (T1557); ranked at the 20th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SC-13 (Cryptographic Protection) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-4282 affects Brocade SANnav OVA versions prior to 2.3.1b, where a deprecated SHA1 setting is enabled for SSH on port 22. This configuration issue falls under CWE-327 (Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm) and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical), reflecting its network accessibility (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), lack of required privileges (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and unchanged scope (S:U) with high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). The vulnerability was published on 2025-02-15.

Remote, unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network by targeting the weak SHA1 cryptographic setting in SSH communications on port 22. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to compromise SSH sessions, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data interception, modification, or disruption of services, aligning with the high CVSS impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

The Broadcom security advisory at https://support.broadcom.com/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/25400 provides details on mitigation, which includes upgrading to SANnav 2.3.1b or later to disable the deprecated SHA1 setting for SSH.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SC-13 requires selection and implementation of specific cryptography types, directly stopping use of broken algorithms.

PR.DS-01 partial match
prevents

PR.DS-01 promotes encryption for data-at-rest but never requires strong algorithms, leaving CWE-327 fully possible; the weakness is also far broader than data-at-rest so one narrow control removes none of its total risk.

prevents

Mandating approved algorithms, cipher strength and usage standards directly stops the selection of broken or weak cryptographic primitives that attackers can exploit.

prevents

The explicit call-out of cryptography-related legal constraints (import/export, key escrow, digital-signature validity) reduces the likelihood that an organization will adopt broken or non-compliant cryptographic algorithms that violate those rules.

prevents

Access to current specialist guidance and early vulnerability alerts enables timely replacement of broken or risky cryptographic algorithms with stronger alternatives.
