Supportlink CLI in Brocade Fabric OS Versions v8.2.1 through v8.2.1d, and 8.2.2 versions before v8.2.2c does not obfuscate the password field, which could expose users’ credentials of the remote server. An authenticated user could obtain the exposed password credentials to gain access to the remote host.
The product does not require that users should have strong passwords, which makes it easier for attackers to compromise user accounts.
