F5 Networks BIG-IP : BIG-IP iControl REST API vulnerability (K32544615)

high Nessus Plugin ID 190532

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 15.1.9 / 16.1.4 / 17.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K32544615 advisory.

When BIG-IP is deployed in high availability (HA) and an iControl REST API token is updated, the change does not sync to the peer device.(CVE-2024-22389)

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 K32544615.
