The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 16.1.4 / 17.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000134746 advisory.

  • The BIG-IP Edge Client Installer on macOS does not follow best practices for elevating privileges during the installation process. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. (CVE-2023-38418)

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