The version of F5 Networks BIG-IP installed on the remote host is prior to 14.1.5 / 15.1.6.1 / 16.1.2.2 / 17.0.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the K28405643 advisory.

  • In BIG-IP Versions 16.1.x before 16.1.2.2, 15.1.x before 15.1.6.1, and 14.1.x before 14.1.5, when the Message Routing (MR) Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) profile is configured on a virtual server, undisclosed requests can cause an increase in memory resource utilization. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated. (CVE-2022-35240)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
