An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-25946 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-2022-25946/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-25946/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-25946","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-25946/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-25946","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8j32-qm4m-rqjw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"F5 BIG-IP WAF","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can bypass Appliance mode restrictions in F5 BIG-IP Guided Configuration due to missing integrity checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_access_policy_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_advanced_web_application_firewall","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_application_security_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_guided_configuration","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-354","name":"Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value"}],"description":"On all versions of 16.1.x, 15.1.x, 14.1.x, 13.1.x, 12.1.x, and 11.6.x of F5 BIG-IP Advanced WAF, ASM, and ASM, and F5 BIG-IP Guided Configuration (GC) all versions prior to 9.0, when running in Appliance mode, an authenticated attacker with Administrator role privilege may be able to bypass Appliance mode restrictions due to a missing integrity check in F5 BIG-IP Guided Configuration.
