Description

A critical security vulnerability has been identified in Brocade ASCG versions before 3.5.0. The HTTPS service fails to properly enforce authentication or access control checks on incoming requests. An unauthenticated attacker with network access can issue control commands, alter cluster states, and modify system configurations, leading to a complete compromise of the streaming service control plane.
