It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-48500 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-2025-48500/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48500/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-48500","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48500/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-48500","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-562w-w6qf-mvxf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"F5 VPN client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can replace the macOS VPN client installer with a malicious package due to missing integrity checks, leading to code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"supply_chain"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_access_policy_manager","vendor":"f5"},{"product":"big-ip_access_policy_manager_client","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-353","name":"Missing Support for Integrity Check"}],"description":"A missing file integrity check vulnerability exists on MacOS F5 VPN browser client installer that may allow a local, authenticated attacker with access to the local file system to replace it with a malicious package installer. \nNote: 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-IP APM VPN web client for macOS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-48500","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"f5:big-ip_access_policy_manager","products":["f5:big-ip_access_policy_manager"],"type":"supply_chain","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in Nimesa Backup and Recovery","id":"CVE-2025-48501"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Apoes 2150 N","id":"CVE-2025-48499"},"products":["BIG-IP","BIG-IP Edge Client"],"published":"2025-08-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Configuration Utility Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2023-46747","kev_date_added":"2023-10-31","published":"2023-10-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Missing Authentication","id":"CVE-2022-1388","kev_date_added":"2022-05-10","published":"2022-05-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP and BIG-IQ Centralized Management iControl REST Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-22986","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Traffic Management Microkernel Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2021-22991","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2021-03-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI) Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-5902","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-07-01"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP APM Heap-based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2026-94127","kev_date_added":"2026-09-22","published":"2026-09-22"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"F5 BIG-IP Stack-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2025-53521","kev_date_added":"2026-03-27","published":"2025-10-15"}],"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["F5"]},"summary":"A local attacker can replace the macOS VPN client installer with a malicious package due to missing integrity checks, leading to code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48500/"}
