The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 13.1.4 / 14.1.4 / 15.1.1 / 16.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000135449 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

"The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 13.1.4 / 14.1.4 / 15.1.1 / 16.0.0. It is,
therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000135449 advisory.
- Specific F5 BIG-IP platforms with Cavium Nitrox FIPS HSM cards generate a deterministic password for the
Crypto User account. The predictable nature of the password allows an authenticated user with TMSH access
to the BIG-IP system, or anyone with physical access to the FIPS HSM, the information required to generate
the correct password. On vCMP systems, all Guests share the same deterministic password, allowing those
with TMSH access on one Guest to access keys of a different Guest. The following BIG-IP hardware platforms
are affected: 10350v-F, i5820-DF, i7820-DF, i15820-DF, 5250v-F, 7200v-F, 10200v-F, 6900-F, 8900-F,
11000-F, and 11050-F. The BIG-IP rSeries r5920-DF and r10920-DF are not affected, nor does the issue
affect software FIPS implementations or network HSM configurations. Note: Software versions which have
reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. (CVE-2023-3470)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
