What is CVE-2024-5460?

A vulnerability exists in the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) feature of Brocade Fabric OS that affects versions before 9.0.0. Due to a hard-coded default community string in the SNMP daemon's configuration file, an authenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read data from vulnerable devices. By leveraging the static community string in SNMP version 1 queries, attackers can gain access to sensitive information, potentially compromising the integrity and confidentiality of network management operations.
