Our ongoing research has identified remotely exploitable vulnerabilities in F5’s Next Central Manager that can give attackers full administrative control of the device, and subsequently allow attackers to create accounts on any F5 assets managed by the Next Central Manager. These attacker-controlled accounts would not be visible from the Next Central Manager itself, enabling ongoing malicious persistence within the environment. At the time of writing, we have not seen any indication that these vulnerabilities have been exploited in the wild.
