K23432927: The BIG-IP ASM system may redirect a client request to an incorrect
URL
Security Advisory
Original Publication Date: Jan 30, 2019
Applies to (see versions):
o Product: BIG-IP, BIG-IP ASM
o 12.1.2, 12.1.1, 12.1.0, 11.6.2, 11.6.1, 11.5.4, 11.5.3, 11.5.2, 11.5.1
Security Advisory Description
The BIG-IP ASM system may redirect a client request to an incorrect URL after
the client browser passes the client-side integrity defense JavaScript
challenge.
This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met:
o You have enabled the Client Side Integrity Defense feature in a DoS profile
associated with a virtual server.
o A client request containing a certain structured URL is processed by the
virtual server with the DoS profile.
o The client browser passes the client-side integrity defense JavaScript
challenge issued by the BIG-IP ASM system.
Impact
The client browser is redirected to an incorrect URL. If a malicious attacker
triggers the DoS profile and then sends a maliciously crafted structured URL to
unsuspecting users as part of a phishing attack, the users may be redirected to
a malicious website.
Symptoms
As a result of this issue, you may encounter the following symptom:
o The client browser is redirected to an incorrect URL instead of the
original website.
