critical Nessus Plugin ID 127500

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

Similar to the issue identified inCVE-2018-12120, the BIG-IP system will bind a debug nodejs process to all interfaces when invoked. This may expose the process to unauthorized users if the plugin is left in debug mode and the port is accessible.(CVE-2019-6644)

Impact

A remote attacker may be able to attach a remote computer to the debug port and evaluate arbitrary JavaScript.

BIG-IP systems in a standard, default configuration are not vulnerable. This vulnerability requires the BIG-IP systems to be provisioned foriRulesLXand have aworkspace that includes an extension configuration including the 'debug' flag, which must be manually added.

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution K75532331.
