In F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Link Controller, PEM and WebSafe software version 13.0.0 and 12.1.0 - 12.1.2, race conditions in iControl REST may lead to commands being executed with different privilege levels than expected.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.06%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
