"The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 15.1.10.8 / 16.1.6.1 / 17.1.3 / 17.5.1.1. It
is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K000154647 advisory.

    A vulnerability exists in the iHealth utility of the TMOS Shell (tmsh) that may allow an authenticated
    attacker with at least a resource administrator role to bypasstmshrestrictions and gain access to the
    Advanced Shell (bash). For BIG-IP systems running in Appliance mode, a successful exploit can allow the
    attacker to cross a security boundary.(CVE-2025-61958)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the F5 Networks BIG-IP security advisory.

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