Authenticated cross-user dashboard modification or deletion

Published May 5, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Improper privilege management in F5 BIG-IP TMUI allows remote authenticated users to modify or delete dashboards owned by other users. Public F5 and CNA records do not identify the responsible handler or failed authorization check beyond the cross-user operation. A valid BIG-IP account and network access to the management interface are required, and impact is limited to unauthorized alteration or loss of dashboard data.
