F5-K000135449
First published: Wed Aug 02 2023(Updated: )
Specific F5 BIG-IP platforms with Cavium Nitrox FIPS HSM cards generate a deterministic password for the Crypto User account. The predictable nature of the password allows an authenticated attacker with TMOS Shell (tmsh) access to the BIG-IP system, or anyone with physical access to the FIPS HSM, the information required to generate the correct password. On vCMP systems, all Guests share the same deterministic password, allowing those with tmsh access on one Guest to access FIPS HSM partitions belonging to other Guests.
