https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2018-5511

On F5 BIG-IP 13.1.0-13.1.0.3 or 13.0.0, when authenticated administrative users execute commands in the Traffic Management User Interface (TMUI), also referred to as the BIG-IP Configuration utility, restrictions on allowed commands may not be enforced. En F5 BIG-IP, de la versión 13.1.0 a la 13.1.0.3 o en la versión 13.0.0, cuando los usuarios administrativos autenticados ejecutan comandos en el TMUI (Traffic Management User Interface), también llamado utilidad BIG-IP Configuration, podrían no aplicarse las restricciones sobre los comandos permitidos. The VMX process (vmware-vmx.exe) process configures and hosts an instance of VM. As is common with desktop virtualization platforms the VM host usually has privileged access into the OS such as mapping physical memory which represents a security risk. To mitigate this the VMX process is created with an elevated integrity level by the authentication daemon (vmware-authd.exe) which runs at SYSTEM. • https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46600 http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/152213/VMware-Host-VMX-Process-Impersonation-Hijack-Privilege-Escalation.html https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K30500703 • CWE-470: Use of Externally-Controlled Input to Select Classes or Code ('Unsafe Reflection') •
