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-2022-23031/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23031/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-23031","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23031/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-23031","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6j94-pvhj-7f99"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_advanced_web_application_firewall","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_application_security_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_fraud_protection_service","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-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"On BIG-IP FPS, ASM, and Advanced WAF versions 16.1.x before 16.1.1, 15.1.x before 15.1.4, and 14.1.x before 14.1.4.4, an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability exists in an undisclosed page of the F5 Advanced Web Application Firewall (Advanced WAF) and BIG-IP ASM Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), also referred to as the Configuration utility, that allows an authenticated high-privileged attacker to read local files and force BIG-IP to send HTTP requests.
