Summary

The F5 Networks BIG-IP APM Edge Client versions prior to 7.1.8 expose sensitive information by logging full application session IDs in log files. This practice can lead to potential unauthorized access as the session IDs may reveal user session data. It is crucial for users of affected BIG-IP APM versions, including 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14.1.0-14.1.0.6, and others, to upgrade to the fixed version. Starting with BIG-IP APM version 13.1.0, the APM Client components can be updated independently from the BIG-IP software, enabling better security management.

Affected Version(s)

BIG-IP APM Edge Client 15.0.0-15.0.1, 14,1.0-14.1.0.6, 14.0.0-14.0.0.4, 13.0.0-13.1.1.5, 12.1.0-12.1.5, 11.5.1-11.6.5
