The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 14.1.5.4 / 15.1.8.2 / 16.1.3.4 / 17.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000132768 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
