OS Command Injection in F5Os A (CVE-2025-60013)
Summary
OS command injection in F5Os A (CVE-2025-60013). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
When a highly-privileged, authenticated attacker attempts to initialize the rSeries FIPS module using a password with special shell metacharacters, arbitrary system commands may be executed, and the FIPS hardware security module (HSM) may fail to initialize. A successful exploit can allow the attacker to cross a security boundary. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
