F5 SIRT (f5sirt@f5.com CNA) via NVD
F5 is its own CVE Numbering Authority. VulniPulse ingests F5's CVEs from the NVD CNA feed (f5sirt@f5.com), each linking to its my.f5.com / support.f5.com security article. Covers BIG-IP (LTM, ASM/Advanced WAF, APM, AFM), BIG-IP Next, BIG-IQ, NGINX / NGINX Plus, F5OS and Distributed Cloud — internet-facing application-delivery and security appliances that are repeatedly mass-exploited (e.g. the CVE-2023-46747 RCE), so a patch-now enterprise audience.

When a client-side HTTP/2 profile and the HTTP MRF Router option are enabled for a virtual server, and an iRule using the HTTP_REQUEST event or Local Traffic Policy are associated with the virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause TMM to terminate. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Medium [CVE-2023-45219] Exposure of Sensitive Information vulnerability exist in an undisclosed BIG-IP TMOS shell (tmsh) command which may
Exposure of Sensitive Information vulnerability exist in an undisclosed BIG-IP TMOS shell (tmsh) command which may allow an authenticated attacker with resource administrator role privileges to view sensitive information. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.

Medium [CVE-2023-3470] Specific F5 BIG-IP platforms with Cavium Nitrox FIPS HSM cards generate a deterministic password for the Crypto User account
Specific F5 BIG-IP platforms with Cavium Nitrox FIPS HSM cards generate a deterministic password for the Crypto User account. The predictable nature of the password allows an authenticated user with TMSH access to the BIG-IP system, or anyone with physical access to the FIPS HSM, the information required to generate the correct password. On vCMP systems, all Guests share the same deterministic password, allowing those with TMSH access on one Guest to access keys of a different Guest. The following BIG-IP hardware platforms are affected: 10350v-F, i5820-DF, i7820-DF, i15820-DF, 5250v-F, 7200v-F, 10200v-F, 6900-F, 8900-F, 11000-F, and 11050-F. The BIG-IP rSeries r5920-DF and r10920-DF are not affected, nor does the issue affect software FIPS implementations or network HSM configurations. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
Medium [CVE-2023-38423] cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP Configuration utility
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the BIG-IP Configuration utility that allows an attacker to run JavaScript in the context of the currently logged-in user. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
