On BIG-IP 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.3, 13.1.0-13.1.3.3, and 12.1.0-12.1.5.1 and BIG-IQ 5.2.0-7.1.0, when creating a QKView, credentials for binding to LDAP servers used for remote authentication of the BIG-IP administrative interface will not fully obfuscate if they contain whitespace.

In versions 7.1.5-7.1.8, when a user connects to a VPN using BIG-IP Edge Client over an unsecure network, BIG-IP Edge Client responds to authentication requests over HTTP while sending probes for captive portal detection.

In BIG-IQ 5.2.0-7.0.0, high availability (HA) synchronization is not secure by TLS and may allow on-path attackers to read / modify confidential data in transit.

In versions prior to 3.3.0, the NGINX Controller is configured to communicate with its Postgres database server over unencrypted channels, making the communicated data vulnerable to interception via man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks.

In versions of NGINX Controller prior to 3.3.0, the helper.sh script, which is used optionally in NGINX Controller to change settings, uses sensitive items as command-line arguments.

On BIG-IP versions 15.0.0-15.0.1.1, 14.1.0-14.1.2.2, 14.0.0-14.0.1, 13.1.0-13.1.3.1, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.2-11.6.5 and BIG-IQ versions 6.0.0-6.1.0 and 5.2.0-5.4.0, a user is able to obtain the secret that was being used to encrypt a BIG-IP UCS backup file while sending SNMP query to the BIG-IP or BIG-IQ system, however the user can not access to the UCS files.

On versions 13.0.0-13.1.0.1, 12.1.0-12.1.4.1, 11.6.1-11.6.4, and 11.5.1-11.5.9, BIG-IP platforms where AVR, ASM, APM, PEM, AFM, and/or AAM is provisioned may leak sensitive data.

F5 BIG-IP 15.0.0, 14.1.0-14.1.0.6, 14.0.0-14.0.0.5, 13.0.0-13.1.1.5, 12.1.0-12.1.4.1, 11.6.0-11.6.4, and 11.5.1-11.5.9 and Enterprise Manager 3.1.1 may expose sensitive information and allow the system configuration to be modified when using non-default ConfigSync settings.

F5 BIG-IP ASM 15.0.0, 14.1.0-14.1.0.6, 14.0.0-14.0.0.5, 13.0.0-13.1.1.5, 12.1.0-12.1.4.1, 11.6.0-11.6.4, and 11.5.1-11.5.9 may expose sensitive information and allow the system configuration to be modified when using non-default settings.

On BIG-IP 14.1.0-14.1.0.5, 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.1-11.5.8, SNMP exposes sensitive configuration objects over insecure transmission channels. This issue is exposed when a passphrase is inserted into various profile types and accessed using SNMPv2.

On BIG-IP 13.0.0-13.1.1.4, 12.1.0-12.1.4, 11.6.1-11.6.3.4, and 11.5.2-11.5.8, SNMP may expose sensitive configuration objects over insecure transmission channels. This issue is exposed when a passphrase is used with various profile types and is accessed using SNMPv2.

On BIG-IP 14.0.x, 13.x, 12.x, and 11.x, Enterprise Manager 3.1.1, BIG-IQ 6.x, 5.x, and 4.x, and iWorkflow 2.x, the passphrases for SNMPv3 users and trap destinations that are used for authentication and privacy are not handled by the BIG-IP system Secure Vault feature; they are written in the clear to the various configuration files.

A vulnerability in BIG-IP APM portal access 11.5.1-11.5.7, 11.6.0-11.6.3, and 12.1.0-12.1.3 discloses the BIG-IP software version in rewritten pages.

When the F5 BIG-IP APM 13.0.0-13.1.1 or 12.1.0-12.1.3 renders certain pages (pages with a logon agent or a confirm box), the BIG-IP APM may disclose configuration information such as partition and agent names via URI parameters.

A local file vulnerability exists in the F5 BIG-IP Configuration utility on versions 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.2, 11.6.1-11.6.3.1, 11.5.1-11.5.5, or 11.2.1 that exposes files containing F5-provided data only and do not include any configuration data, proxied traffic, or other potentially sensitive customer data.

In some cases the MCPD binary cache in F5 BIG-IP devices may allow a user with Advanced Shell access, or privileges to generate a qkview, to temporarily obtain normally unrecoverable information.

F5 BIG-IP 12.0.0 and 11.5.0 - 11.6.1 REST requests which timeout during user account authentication may log sensitive attributes such as passwords in plaintext to /var/log/restjavad.0.log. It may allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading these files.

A BIG-IP virtual server configured with a Client SSL profile that has the non-default Session Tickets option enabled may leak up to 31 bytes of uninitialized memory. A remote attacker may exploit this vulnerability to obtain Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) session IDs from other sessions. It is possible that other data from uninitialized memory may be returned as well.

The server IKEv1 implementation in Cisco IOS 12.2 through 12.4 and 15.0 through 15.6, IOS XE through 3.18S, IOS XR 4.3.x and 5.0.x through 5.2.x, and PIX before 7.0 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from device memory via a Security Association (SA) negotiation request, aka Bug IDs CSCvb29204 and CSCvb36055 or BENIGNCERTAIN.

The Configuration utility in F5 BIG-IP systems 11.0.x, 11.1.x, 11.2.x before 11.2.1 HF16, 11.3.x, 11.4.x before 11.4.1 HF10, 11.5.x before 11.5.4 HF2, 1.6.x before 11.6.1, and 12.0.0 before HF1 allows remote administrators to read Access Policy Manager (APM) access logs via unspecified vectors.

The iControl REST service in F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, Link Controller, and PEM 11.5.x before 11.5.4, 11.6.x before 11.6.1, and 12.x before 12.0.0 HF3; BIG-IP DNS 12.x before 12.0.0 HF3; BIG-IP GTM 11.5.x before 11.5.4 and 11.6.x before 11.6.1; BIG-IQ Cloud and Security 4.0.0 through 4.5.0; BIG-IQ Device 4.2.0 through 4.5.0; BIG-IQ ADC 4.5.0; BIG-IQ Centralized Management 4.6.0; and BIG-IQ Cloud and Orchestration 1.0.0 allows remote authenticated administrators to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

The Single Sign-On (SSO) feature in F5 BIG-IP APM 11.x before 11.6.0 HF6 and BIG-IP Edge Gateway 11.0.0 through 11.3.0 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive SessionId information by leveraging access to the Location HTTP header in a redirect.

F5 BIG-IP LTM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, Link Controller, and PEM 11.3.x, 11.4.x before 11.4.1 build 685-HF10, 11.5.1 before build 10.104.180, 11.5.2 before 11.5.4 build 0.1.256, 11.6.0 before build 6.204.442, and 12.0.0 before build 1.14.628; BIG-IP AAM 11.4.x before 11.4.1 build 685-HF10, 11.5.1 before build 10.104.180, 11.5.2 before 11.5.4 build 0.1.256, 11.6.0 before build 6.204.442, and 12.0.0 before build 1.14.628; BIG-IP DNS 12.0.0 before build 1.14.628; BIG-IP Edge Gateway, WebAccelerator, and WOM 11.3.0; BIG-IP GTM 11.3.x, 11.4.x before 11.4.1 build 685-HF10, 11.5.1 before build 10.104.180, 11.5.2 before 11.5.4 build 0.1.256, and 11.6.0 before build 6.204.442; BIG-IP PSM 11.3.x and 11.4.x before 11.4.1 build 685-HF10; BIG-IQ Cloud, Device, and Security 4.2.0 through 4.5.0; and BIG-IQ ADC 4.5.0 do not properly regenerate certificates and keys when deploying cloud images in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure or Verizon cloud services environments, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (disruption) by leveraging a target instance configuration.
