The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the K000139691 advisory.

  • An XML External Entity (XXE) issue was discovered in Python through 3.9.1. The plistlib module no longer accepts entity declarations in XML plist files to avoid XML vulnerabilities. (CVE-2022-48565)

  • Python Software Foundation Python (CPython) version 2.7 contains a CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command (‘Command Injection’) vulnerability in shutil module (make_archive function) that can result in Denial of service, Information gain via injection of arbitrary files on the system or entire drive. This attack appear to be exploitable via Passage of unfiltered user input to the function. This vulnerability appears to have been fixed in after commit add531a1e55b0a739b0f42582f1c9747e5649ace. (CVE-2018-1000802)

  • An integer overflow during the parsing of XML using the Expat library. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50. (CVE-2016-9063)

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