DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
Unpatched BIG-IP Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) with web interfaces can be easily accessed by an attacker, especially if the web interface is internet-facing. Attack tools such as Metasploit and publicly-available exploits can help an unauthenticated attacker achieve their objective. A successful exploit can compromise the ADC and enable the attacker to intercept traffic or move laterally across the network.

The BIG-IP ADC is a gateway device that directs traffic across a network. The configuration utility (Traffic Management User Interface or TMUI) has a known vulnerability, which enables unauthenticated attackers with network access to run arbitrary code on the TMUI server. The TMUI can be exposed to an attacker through the BIG-IP Management port or a Self IP address. Malicious code is delivered to the TMUI through an HTTP request that bypasses authentication checks and then runs a command or uploads a malicious payload. The attacker can then gain access to the BIG-IP ADC to manipulate traffic, access files, or upload malicious files to the ADC.
