A vulnerability in Brocade SANnav before v2.3.1 and v2.3.0a prints the encryption key in the console when a privileged user executes the script to replace the Brocade SANnav Management Portal standby node. This could provide attackers an additional, less protected path to acquiring the encryption key.

Weakness

Information written to log files can be of a sensitive nature and give valuable guidance to an attacker or expose sensitive user information.
