CVE-2023-46748F5 appliance — SQL injection in the configuration utility

An authenticated attacker who can reach the configuration utility on an F5 appliance (BIG-IP) folds commands into an SQL query and the system executes them. It pairs with the authentication bypass published beside it.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Install the fixed release from the F5 advisory, and restrict the management port and self addresses to an administrative network — reaching the utility is the precondition.
