It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-6668 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-2019-6668/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6668/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-6668","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6668/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-6668","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-48fp-w2fw-6wx7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BIG-IP APM Edge Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged users can access root-owned files via the BIG-IP APM Edge Client for macOS, leading to privilege escalation and data exposure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_access_policy_manager","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"The BIG-IP APM Edge Client for macOS bundled with BIG-IP APM 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.0.5, 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, 13.1.0-13.1.1.5, 12.1.0-12.1.5, and 11.5.1-11.6.5 may allow unprivileged users to access files owned by root.","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":"Privilege escalation in BIG-IP APM Edge Client","id":"CVE-2019-6668","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"f5:big-ip_access_policy_manager","products":["f5:big-ip_access_policy_manager"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP","id":"CVE-2019-6669"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP","id":"CVE-2019-6667"},"products":["BIG-IP APM Edge Client"],"published":"2019-11-27","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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["F5"]},"summary":"Unprivileged users can access root-owned files via the BIG-IP APM Edge Client for macOS, leading to privilege escalation and data exposure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6668/"}
