medium Nessus Plugin ID 177575

Language:

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 14.1.5.3 / 15.1.7 / 16.1.3.3 / 17.0.0.2 / 17.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K95503300 advisory.

 - On versions 17.0.x before 17.0.0.2, 16.1.x before 16.1.3.3, 15.1.x before 15.1.7, 14.1.x before 14.1.5.3, and all versions of 13.1.x, an open redirect vulnerability exists on virtual servers enabled with a BIG-IP APM access policy. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated malicious attacker to build an open redirect URI. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. (CVE-2023-22418)

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