CVE-2024-23976
Status: AnalyzedMedium (6)—
When running in Appliance mode, an authenticated attacker assigned the Administrator role may be able to bypass Appliance mode restrictions utilizing iAppsLX templates on a BIG-IP system. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
- Base score: 6
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.17%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 5
- Score date: 10/1/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
