The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the K000137353 and K000137365 advisories:

  • K000137353: BIG-IP Configuration utility unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2023-46747)

  • K000137365: BIG-IP Configuration utility authenticated SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2023-46748)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
