Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • →Monitor for command injection attempts targeting the iControl REST API endpoint and BIG-IP TMOS Shell (tmsh) 'save' command by authenticated users ↗
  • →Focus detection on authenticated sessions invoking the tmsh 'save' command with anomalous or shell-metacharacter-containing arguments, as exploitation requires authentication ↗
  • ·Only BIG-IP versions 15.1.0–15.1.10.6, 16.1.0–16.1.5.2, and 17.1.0–17.1.2.1 are confirmed affected; versions that have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated and may also be vulnerable ↗
  • ·Exploitation requires the attacker to be authenticated; unauthenticated exploitation is not indicated by available sources ↗
  • ·Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated for this CVE ↗
