CISA Warns of Actively Exploited Brocade and Commvault Vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-1976 & CVE-2025-3928)

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned users about two high-severity vulnerabilities impacting Broadcom Brocade Fabric OS and Commvault Web server. CISA added the vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, urging users to patch them before May 19, 2025.

CVE-2025-1976: Brocade Fabric OS Code Injection Vulnerability 

An attacker must have valid access to a role with admin privileges. The improper IP Address validation flaw may allow a local user with a pre-defined admin role or a user-defined role with admin-level privileges to execute arbitrary code with full root-level access. The vulnerability can allow the user to perform any existing Fabric OS command or can also be used to modify the Fabric OS itself, including adding their subroutines.

CVE-2025-3928: Commvault Webserver Vulnerability

An attacker must have authenticated user credentials within the Commvault Software environment to exploit the vulnerability. Unauthenticated access is not exploitable. An attacker may exploit the vulnerability to create and execute webshells.

For software customers, vulnerability is exploitable when the instance is

  1. accessible via the internet
  2. compromised through an unrelated avenue
  3. accessed by leveraging legitimate user credentials
