An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2022-23018 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-23018 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in F5 Big-Ip Advanced Firewall Manager, published on 25 Jan 2022. 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-2022-23018 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: F5 Big-Ip Advanced Firewall 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-2022-23018/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23018/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-23018","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23018/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-23018","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8c4m-pxfw-44ph"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"BIG-IP AFM","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause Traffic Management Microkernel termination via undisclosed requests when specific HTTP profiles are enabled on BIG-IP AFM.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_advanced_firewall_manager","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-755","name":"Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions"}],"description":"On BIG-IP AFM version 16.1.x before 16.1.2, 15.1.x before 15.1.4.1, 14.1.x before 14.1.4.5, and 13.1.x beginning in 13.1.3.4, when a virtual server is configured with both HTTP protocol security and HTTP Proxy Connect profiles, undisclosed requests can cause the Traffic Management Microkernel (TMM) to terminate.
