SANnav: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

Published Updated By the CyberSecBulletin desk

CVE-2026-82371 is a high-severity insertion of sensitive information into log file vulnerability in SANnav from Brocade, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.5 out of 10. It can be exploited with local access to the system by an attacker with a low-privileged account, without any action from a user. The record lists version 3.0.1a as the first without the flaw, so updating SANnav to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.13% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.

Official description

Plaintext exposure of sensitive authentication data in Brocade SANnav discovery service log files enables individuals with file read access to retrieve administrative switch credentials and active session tokens. An attacker with access to system logs or support bundles can leverage exposed authentication details to compromise managed network infrastructure and access active application sessions. This vulnerability affects Brocade SANnav versions before 3.0.1a.

The underlying weakness: Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File

The product writes sensitive information to a log file.

How developers prevent this class of flaw

  • Consider seriously the sensitivity of the information written into log files. Do not write secrets into the log files.
  • Remove debug log files before deploying the application into production.
  • Protect log files against unauthorized read/write.
