Impact

A remote attacker may be able to attach a remote computer to the debug
port and evaluate arbitrary JavaScript.

BIG-IP systems in a standard, default configuration are not
vulnerable. This vulnerability requires the BIG-IP systems to be
provisioned foriRulesLXand have aworkspace that includes an extension
configuration including the 'debug' flag, which must be manually
added."
