F5 Networks BIG-IP : BIG-IP TMUI vulnerability (K08510472)

high Nessus Plugin ID 160575

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 13.1.5 / 14.1.4.6 / 15.1.5.1 / 16.1.2.2 / 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K08510472 advisory.

- On F5 BIG-IP AFM 16.1.x versions prior to 16.1.2.2, 15.1.x versions prior to 15.1.5.1, 14.1.x versions prior to 14.1.4.6, and 13.1.x versions prior to 13.1.5, an authenticated attacker with high privileges can upload a maliciously crafted file to the BIG-IP AFM Configuration utility, which allows an attacker to run arbitrary commands. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated (CVE-2022-28695)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
