"Windows Logon Integration feature of F5 BIG-IP APM client prior to
version 7.1.7.1 for Windows by default uses Legacy logon mode which
uses a SYSTEM account to establish network access. This feature
displays a certificate user interface dialog box which contains the
link to the certificate policy. By clicking on the link, unprivileged
users can open additional dialog boxes and get access to the local
machine windows explorer which can be used to get administrator
privilege. Windows Logon Integration is vulnerable when the APM client
is installed by an administrator on a user machine. Users accessing
the local machine can get administrator privileges (CVE-2018-5547)

Impact

Users accessing the local machine can get administrator privileges.");
