Summary
Brocade SANnav before v2.3.0 and v2.2.2a stores SNMPv3 Authentication passwords in plaintext. A privileged user could retrieve these credentials with knowledge and access to these log files. SNMP credentials could be seen in SANnav SupportSave if the capture is performed after an SNMP configuration failure causes an SNMP communication log dump.
