Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:43

In F5 BIG-IP APM 12.0.0 through 12.1.2, non-authenticated users may be able to inject JavaScript into a request that will then be rendered and executed in the context of the Administrative user when the Administrative user is viewing the Access System Logs, allowing the non-authenticated user to carry out a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack against the Administrative user. F5 BIG-IP APM Contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Information may be obtained and information may be altered. F5BIG-IP is a load balancer that uses a variety of allocation algorithms to distribute network requests to available servers in a server cluster. By managing incoming web data traffic and increasing effective network bandwidth, network visitors get as much as possible. The hardware device for the best networking experience. A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in F5BIG-IPAPM version 12.0.0 through 12.1.2. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject JavaScript into a request to implement a cross-site scripting attack. F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) is a set of access and security solutions from F5 Corporation of the United States. The solution provides unified access to business-critical applications and networks
