The BIG-IP CLI and Web Management Interface are vulnerable to a remote code-injection because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected application.

Important: The exploitation risk of this vulnerability is considered to be low, as exploitation requires the user to have a valid authenticated management session. A privileged user should not paste arbitrary or untrusted commands into the BIG-IP system.
