CVE-2026-85486· CVE.org (no NVD analysis yet)· CNA brocade

Brocade ASCG before 3.5.0 improperly processes user input by evaluating form data prior to validation.

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.22% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone on the same network segment can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Brocade Brocade Active Support Connectivity Gateway 3.5.0.
  • Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Brocade Brocade Active Support Connectivity Gateway 3.5.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Brocade ASCG before 3.5.0 improperly processes user input by evaluating form data prior to validation. When an authenticated user submits a configuration form, the submitted text could immediately be processed. A malicious actor with basic access can supply crafted input to execute arbitrary code on the server and take control of the application.
