According to its version number, the remote F5 Networks BIG-IQ device is affected by an authentication bypass vulnerability due to a flaw in the REST API. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to obtain an authentication token for arbitrary LDAP user accounts when the device is configured to use LDAP remote authentication and the LDAP server allows anonymous BIND operations.
