An improper certificate validation vulnerability exists in BIG-IP Edge Client for Windows and macOS and may allow an attacker to impersonate a BIG-IP APM system. (CVE-2023-24461)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
