The version of the Big-IP Edge Client Windows Component Installer installed on the remote Windows host is 7.2.1 before 7.2.1.3, or between 7.1.6 and 7.1.9.9 Update 1. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability. A local attacker can exploit this to gain privileged or administrator access to the system.
