CVE-2026-5769 Vulnerability Summary

CVE-2026-5769: A vulnerability in Brocade SANnav before 3.0.1 can have the Brocade Fabric OS switch admin password captured in plaintext within a memory swap file on the server hosting the Brocade SANnav Virtual Machine (VM). This can happen when the SANnav server encounters an Out Of Memory (OOM) condition. The vulnerability could allow an authenticated admin user with access to the server hosting the SANnav to potentially view the memory swap file and access the password(s).

Assessing the Risk of CVE-2026-5769

Access Complexity Graph

The exploitability of CVE-2026-5769 depends on two key factors: attack complexity (the level of effort required to execute an exploit) and privileges required (the access level an attacker needs).

Exploitability Analysis for CVE-2026-5769

No exploitability data is available for CVE-2026-5769.

Understanding AC and PR

A lower complexity and fewer privilege requirements make exploitation easier. Security teams should evaluate these aspects to determine the urgency of mitigation strategies, such as patch management and access control policies.

Attack Complexity (AC) measures the difficulty in executing an exploit. A high AC means that specific conditions must be met, making an attack more challenging, while a low AC means the vulnerability can be exploited with minimal effort.

Privileges Required (PR) determine the level of system access necessary for an attack. Vulnerabilities requiring no privileges are more accessible to attackers, whereas high privilege requirements limit exploitation to authorized users with elevated access.

CVSS Score Breakdown Chart

Above is the CVSS Sub-score Breakdown for CVE-2026-5769, illustrating how Base, Impact, and Exploitability factors combine to form the overall severity rating. A higher sub-score typically indicates a more severe or easier-to-exploit vulnerability.

CIA Impact Analysis
