An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-27727 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-2020-27727/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27727/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-27727","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27727/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-27727","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7vpr-695p-h2h2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"F5 BIG-IP","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can read arbitrary files via insufficient input validation in the iAppsLX REST installer.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"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_fraud_protection_service","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_global_traffic_manager","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"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"On BIG-IP version 16.0.0-16.0.0.1, 15.1.0-15.1.0.5, 14.1.0-14.1.3, and 13.1.0-13.1.3.4, when an authenticated administrative user installs RPMs using the iAppsLX REST installer, the BIG-IP system does not sufficiently validate user input, allowing the user read access to the filesystem.","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":"Path traversal in BIG-IP","id":"CVE-2020-27727","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"f5:big-ip_access_policy_manager","products":["f5:big-ip_access_policy_manager","f5:big-ip_advanced_firewall_manager","f5:big-ip_analytics","f5:big-ip_application_acceleration_manager","f5:big-ip_application_security_manager","f5:big-ip_domain_name_system","f5:big-ip_fraud_protection_service","f5:big-ip_global_traffic_manager","f5:big-ip_link_controller","f5:big-ip_local_traffic_manager","f5:big-ip_policy_enforcement_manager"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP ASM \u0026 Advanced WAF","id":"CVE-2020-27728"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in BIG-IP APM","id":"CVE-2020-27726"},"products":["BIG-IP"],"published":"2020-12-24","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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can read arbitrary files via insufficient input validation in the iAppsLX REST installer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-27727/"}
