descriptionWhen the BIG-IP system is licensed with Appliance mode, user accounts with Administrator and Resource Administrator roles can bypass Appliance mode restrictions. (CVE-2019-6633) Impact This vulnerability allows the attacker to exploit the system with high-level privileges to read and modify the arbitrary files. This behavior is possible only when the BIG-IP system runs in Appliance mode and the user account is configured with the Administrator or Resource Administrator role. The Resource Administrator role requires TMOS Shell ( tmsh ) access to be vulnerable. Appliance mode is a licensed feature on the BIG-IP product.
