Last modified

CVE-2026-85422 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A vulnerability in Brocade ASCG version before 3.5.0 could allow an attacker to obtain a static cryptographic key hardcoded into the software binaries to secure sensitive data at rest and to protect inter-node communication protocols. An attacker who extracts this key can decrypt stored management credentials or craft forged administrative synchronization messages.. EPSS estimates a 0.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
