Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
F5 BIG-IQ Cloud and Security versions 4.0.0 through 4.1.0
Description
The issue allows remote authenticated users to change the password of arbitrary users. This is achieved by manipulating the
name parameter in a request to the "mgmt/shared/authz/users/" API endpoint.Recommendations
For versions 4.0.0 through 4.1.0, consider restricting access to the "mgmt/shared/authz/users/" API endpoint to prevent unauthorized password changes until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the
name parameter in requests to this endpoint. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
