High Severity
<VulnDiscussion>If a device management session or connection remains open after management is completed, it may be hijacked by an attacker and used to compromise or damage the network device. Nonlocal device management and diagnostic activities are activities conducted by individuals communicating through an external network (e.g., the internet) or an internal network. If the remote node has abnormally terminated or an upstream link from the managed device is down, BIG IP F5 terminates the management session and associated connection by default, and this is not configurable.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
