This issue is exposed when a passphrase is inserted into various profile types and accessed using SNMPv2. (CVE-2019-6640) Impact An attacker with direct SNMP access to a BIG-IP system, or an attacker with a privileged network position (man-in-the-middle) may be able to obtain the passphrases used within configuration profiles. Default configurations do not expose this issue; remote SNMP access is disallowed by default. Security Advisory Status F5 Product Development has assigned ID 753796 (BIG-IP) to this vulnerability. To determine if your product and version have been evaluated for this vulnerability, refer to the Applies to (see versions) box. To determine if your release is known to be vulnerable, the components or features that are affected by the vulnerability, and for information about releases or hotfixes that address the vulnerability, refer to the following table.

Security Advisory Recommended Actions If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed in the Fixes introduced in column. If the table lists only an older version than what you are currently running, or does not list a non-vulnerable version, then no upgrade candidate currently exists. Mitigation To mitigate this vulnerability, you can implement SNMPv3 with secure AES-128 encryption. For more information, refer to K13625: Overview of SNMPv3 agent access.
