An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-6599 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-2019-6599/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6599/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-6599","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6599/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-6599","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vgpx-g9qx-rj9h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"F5 BIG-IP","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject malicious scripts into the BIG-IP configuration utility, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_access_policy_manager","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"In BIG-IP 11.6.1-11.6.3.2 or 11.5.1-11.5.8, or Enterprise Manager 3.1.1, improper escaping of values in an undisclosed page of the configuration utility may result with an improper handling on the JSON response when it is injected by a malicious script via a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in BIG-IP APM; Enterprise Manager","id":"CVE-2019-6599","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"f5:big-ip_access_policy_manager","products":["f5:big-ip_access_policy_manager"],"type":"xss","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in BIG-IP (LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, FPS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, WebAccelerator)","id":"CVE-2019-6600"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP (LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, WebAccelerator, WebSafe); Enterprise Manager","id":"CVE-2019-6598"},"products":["BIG-IP APM; Enterprise Manager"],"published":"2019-03-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Configuration Utility Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2023-46747","kev_date_added":"2023-10-31","published":"2023-10-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Missing Authentication","id":"CVE-2022-1388","kev_date_added":"2022-05-10","published":"2022-05-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP and BIG-IQ Centralized Management iControl REST Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-22986","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Traffic Management Microkernel Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2021-22991","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2021-03-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI) Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-5902","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-07-01"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP APM Heap-based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2026-94127","kev_date_added":"2026-09-22","published":"2026-09-22"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Stack-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2025-53521","kev_date_added":"2026-03-27","published":"2025-10-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["F5 Networks, Inc."]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject malicious scripts into the BIG-IP configuration utility, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6599/"}
