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-2021-22993 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: F5 Big-Ip Advanced Web Application Firewall. 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-2021-22993/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22993/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-22993","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-22993/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-22993","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p7gr-h6mg-68g9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BIG-IP WAF/ASM","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A DOM-based XSS vulnerability in the DoS Profile properties page allows attackers to execute scripts in the context of the management interface.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_advanced_web_application_firewall","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_application_security_manager","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"On BIG-IP Advanced WAF and BIG-IP ASM versions 16.0.x before 16.0.1.1, 15.1.x before 15.1.2, 14.1.x before 14.1.3.1, 13.1.x before 13.1.3.6, and 12.1.x before 12.1.5.3, DOM-based XSS on DoS Profile properties page.
