Back Securityweek Critical F5 BIG-IP Vulnerability Exploited as Zero-Day
F5 and CISA on Tuesday warned organizations that threat actors have been exploiting a critical-severity BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) vulnerability as a zero-day.
The flaw is exploitable via malicious traffic sent to the appliance when “a BIG-IP APM access policy and an OAuth profile are configured on a virtual server,” F5 notes in its advisory .
Tracked as CVE-2026-94127 (CVSS score of 9.8), the bug allows unauthenticated attackers to achieve remote code execution (RCE) on a vulnerable deployment.
“We have learned that this vulnerability has been exploited,” F5 says, noting that it discovered the security defect internally.
According to the company, the issue can be triggered only when BIG-IP APM is configured as an OAuth Authorization Server, not on deployments using APM as an OAuth Client/Resource Server.
“The BIG-IP system in Appliance mode is also vulnerable. This is a data plane issue; there is no control plane exposure,” the company notes.
BIG-IP APM versions 21.1.0, 17.5.0 to 17.5.1, and 17.1.0 to 17.1.3 are vulnerable, and F5 has released hotfixes. No other products are vulnerable, the company says.
Additionally, the company published three indicators of compromise (IoCs), noting that their combined and frequent appearance should be correlated to an attack.
Just as F5 published its advisory, CISA added CVE-2026-94127 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities ( KEV ) list, urging federal agencies to patch it within three days, as mandated by BOD 26-04.
