Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

The rsync daemon in F5 BIG-IP in versions before 11.6.0 and other listed versions, when configured in failover mode, does not require authentication. This allows remote attackers to read or write arbitrary files via a cmi request to the ConfigSync IP address.

Risk Assessment

The lack of authentication in failover mode poses a serious security risk, allowing attackers to access sensitive data and potentially modify it.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update to the latest software version and configure appropriate authentication mechanisms for the rsync daemon.
