Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to the iControl REST API.
The weakness exists in the iControl REST API of multiple F5 BIG-IP systems due to improper validation of cookies when the
iControl REST API converts BIGIPAuthCookie
authorization cookies to X-F5-Auth-Token tokens.A remote attcker can obtain an expired BIG-IP authentication cookie could exploit this
vulnerability to access valid iControl REST tokens, which could be used
to access the iControl REST API on a targeted system.
Mitigation
Install update from vendor's website.
