Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-20029 exists.\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-2025-20029/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20029/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-20029","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-20029/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-20029","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mhcp-fqhx-3jmp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"F5 BIG-IP","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary system commands via the iControl REST and tmsh save command in F5 BIG-IP.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_access_policy_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_advanced_firewall_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_advanced_web_application_firewall","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_analytics","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_application_acceleration_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_application_security_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_application_visibility_and_reporting","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_automation_toolchain","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_carrier-grade_nat","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_container_ingress_services","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_ddos_hybrid_defender","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_domain_name_system","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_edge_gateway","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_fraud_protection_service","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_global_traffic_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_link_controller","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_local_traffic_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_policy_enforcement_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_ssl_orchestrator","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_webaccelerator","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_websafe","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":8.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"Command injection vulnerability exists in iControl REST and BIG-IP TMOS Shell (tmsh) save command, which may allow an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary system commands.\n\n \n\nNote: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-02-23","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":22,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-02-23T18:36:11Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/mbadanoiu/CVE-2025-20029","stars":22,"title":"CVE-2025-20029: Command Injection in TMSH CLI in F5 BIG-IP"},{"date":"2025-05-01T05:46:42Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/schoi1337/CVE-2025-20029-simulation","stars":2,"title":"Simulated environment for CVE-2025-20029 using Docker.
