CVE-2026-85423

Status: Undergoing AnalysisHigh (8.6)—

A vulnerability has been identified in the data collection service of Brocade ASCG versions before 3.5.0. An API endpoint within the data collector service fails to perform authentication or authorization checks on incoming requests. An attacker with network access to the service can instruct the application to establish SSH connections to arbitrary hosts and execute arbitrary system commands, effectively turning the appliance into an unauthenticated proxy or execution vector.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques

How this vulnerability is exploited and what the attacker gains, in MITRE ATT&CK terms.

AV:A sin autenticación permite explotar servicio remoto (T1210). El atacante accede sin credenciales válidas (T1078) y ejecuta comandos arbitrarios en hosts remotos (T1059).

Inferred by our analysis agent from the official description, CVSS vector and CWE, and checked by a supervisor. May contain errors.
