Sensitive login-data disclosure via pgaudit logging
Published Feb 5, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025
Sensitive information exposure in F5 BIG-IP Next Central Manager 20.1.0 through 20.2.x allows local users to read login data from audit logs. When a user authenticates locally through the webUI or API, the login path writes sensitive information into pgaudit log files instead of excluding it from audit output. Exploitation requires high-privileged local access to those files; the published impact is disclosure only, with no reported data modification or service interruption.
