5DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability exists in an undisclosed BIG-IP Configuration utility page that may allow an attacker to spoof error messages
Impact:
An attacker may trick authenticated BIG-IP users into accessing malicious links and reflect a spoofed error message in the victim's BIG-IP Configuration utility web browser session. This is a control plane issue; there is no data plane exposure.
Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
AnalysisAI
Error message spoofing in F5 BIG-IP's Configuration utility (TMUI) allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to reflect fabricated error messages inside an authenticated administrator's browser session by tricking them into clicking a crafted link. The flaw is rooted in CWE-451 (UI Misrepresentation of Critical Information) and is strictly a control-plane issue - the data plane handling live traffic is unaffected. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The victim must be an authenticated BIG-IP administrator with an active, valid session in the Configuration utility at the moment the crafted link is clicked - unauthenticated users see only the login page and are not vulnerable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The aggregate risk posture for this vulnerability is very low. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Consult F5 security advisory K000161728 at https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000161728 for specific patched BIG-IP versions and upgrade instructions; exact fix versions are not independently confirmed from the data available in this analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
