01

What, why and how

Incorrect permission assignment vulnerabilities exist in BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS Shell (tmsh) arp and ndp commands, and in BIG-IP iControl REST. These vulnerabilities may allow an authenticated attacker to view adjacent network information.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

What

Incorrect permission assignment vulnerabilities exist in BIG-IP and BIG-IQ TMOS Shell (tmsh) arp and ndp commands, and in BIG-IP iControl REST. These vulnerabilities may allow an authenticated attacker to view adjacent network information.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Why

The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Network
Privileges required
Low: a basic authenticated account is required

CWE-732 ↗

CWE-732: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource. The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.
