Summary

Brocade SANnav versions before 3.0.1 can write the Brocade Fabric OS switch admin password in plaintext to a memory swap file on the server hosting the SANnav Virtual Machine. This happens when the SANnav server hits an Out Of Memory (OOM) condition. An authenticated admin with access to that server could read the swap file and recover the password(s). The weakness is CWE-313 (Cleartext Storage in a File or on Disk), and the CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.6 (MEDIUM).
