An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-6145 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: F5 Big-Ip Access Policy Manager. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6145/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6145/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6145","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6145/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6145","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mfh8-v6rj-qxf5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"F5 BIG-IP","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can use expired authentication cookies to obtain valid tokens, bypassing session expiration controls in F5 BIG-IP devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_access_policy_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_advanced_firewall_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_analytics","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_application_acceleration_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_application_security_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_domain_name_system","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_link_controller","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_local_traffic_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_policy_enforcement_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_websafe","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-613","name":"DEPRECATED: Insufficient Session Expiration"}],"description":"iControl REST in F5 BIG-IP LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Link Controller, PEM, and WebSafe 12.0.0 through 12.1.2 and 13.0.0 includes a service to convert authorization BIGIPAuthCookie cookies to X-F5-Auth-Token tokens.
