Description

On 16.1.x versions prior to 16.1.2.2 and 15.1.x versions prior to 15.1.5.1, BIG-IP APM does not properly validate configurations, allowing an authenticated attacker with high privileges to manipulate the APM policy leading to privilege escalation/remote code execution. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated
