Summary
Brocade Fabric OS versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1 are affected. Improper neutralization of shell metacharacters (CWE-78) in the REST API management interface lets an authenticated remote attacker with high privileges run arbitrary system commands as root. An attacker with administrative rights to configure SSH known host settings can supply crafted parameter values to trigger this.
