Brocade ASCG before 3.5.0 has a well-known Brocade default password embedded in a script distributed to every customer. Any local authenticated user with read access to the installation path can discover this credential and perform privilege escalation on affected Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) deployments, where default configuration settings remain in place.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
