Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-29240 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: F5 Big-Iq Centralized Management. 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-2023-29240/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29240/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-29240","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29240/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-29240","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vgvm-wwrq-c4xw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BIG-IQ management platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users with Viewer or Auditor roles can upload arbitrary files via an iControl REST endpoint, potentially leading to code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-iq_centralized_management","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"An authenticated attacker granted a Viewer or Auditor role on a BIG-IQ can upload arbitrary files using an undisclosed iControl REST endpoint.  Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.","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":"BIG-IQ iControl REST Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-29240","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"f5:big-iq_centralized_management","products":["f5:big-iq_centralized_management"],"type":"file_upload","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in BIS","id":"CVE-2023-29241"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress LuckyWP Scripts Control plugin \u003c= 1.2.1 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-29239"},"products":["BIG-IQ"],"published":"2023-05-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in BIG-IQ","id":"CVE-2020-5868","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-24"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Weak cryptography in BIG-IQ","id":"CVE-2021-23005","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-31"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in BIG-IQ","id":"CVE-2020-5869","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-24"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Missing authorization in BIG-IQ","id":"CVE-2020-5870","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in BIG-IQ","id":"CVE-2021-22995","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-31"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IQ","id":"CVE-2021-22996","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-31"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in BIG-IQ","id":"CVE-2021-22997","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-31"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-09-18","vendors":["F5"]},"summary":"Authenticated users with Viewer or Auditor roles can upload arbitrary files via an iControl REST endpoint, potentially leading to code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29240/"}
