What is CVE-2026-87662?

CVE-2026-87662 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in Broadcom Fabric Operating System, published on 8 Oct 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

Brocade Fabric versions before 9.2.2d and 10.0.0 through 10.0.0a1 handling of specific download protocols utilizes unsanitized parameter strings. When processing upgrade requests, parameters are converted into system command strings and executed through a system shell interface. Because control characters and shell metacharacters in fields like the host or file path are not stripped or sanitized, an attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands with the firmware management daemon's elevated privileges.
