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 K35226442 advisory.

  • An access permission override in Apache Struts 2.0.0 to 2.5.20 may cause a Denial of Service when performing a file upload. (CVE-2019-0233)

  • Apache Struts 2.0.0 to 2.5.20 forced double OGNL evaluation, when evaluated on raw user input in tag attributes, may lead to remote code execution. (CVE-2019-0230)

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