medium Nessus Plugin ID 270600

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 15.1.10.8 / 16.1.6.1 / 17.1.3 / 17.5.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K90301300 advisory.

 On the BIG-IP system, undisclosed endpoints that contain static non-sensitive information are accessible to an unauthenticated remote attacker through the Configuration utility.(CVE-2025-59268)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the F5 Networks BIG-IP security advisory.

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

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution K90301300.
