A DOM based cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP Configuration utility that allows an attacker to execute JavaScript in the context of the currently logged-in user. (CVE-2021-23027)

Vulnerable Component: BIG-IP ASM, APM, LTM

Affected Versions:
16.0.0 - 16.0.1.1
15.1.0 - 15.1.3.0
14.1.0 - 14.1.4.2

QID Detection Logic(Authenticated):
This QID checks for the vulnerable versions of F5 BIG-IP devices using the tmsh command.

An attacker may exploit this vulnerability by causing an authenticated user to submit malicious HTML or JavaScript code in the BIG-IP Configuration utility. If successful, an attacker can run JavaScript in the context of the currently logged-in user. In the case of an administrative user with access to the Advanced Shell (bash), an attacker can leverage successful exploitation of this vulnerability to compromise the BIG-IP system.
