The impact is: Information disclosure (credentials, cookies, etc. that are cached against a given hostname). The components are: urllib.parse.urlsplit, urllib.parse.urlparse. The attack vector is: A specially crafted URL could be incorrectly parsed to locate cookies or authentication data and send that information to a different host than when parsed correctly. (CVE-2019-9636) Impact A remote attacker may be able to use a specially crafted URL to locate cookies or authentication data and send that information to a different host than when parsed correctly. BIG-IP Extended Application Verification (EAV) monitors using the Python urlsplit() function with URLs from an untrusted source may be impacted by this vulnerability. Security Advisory Status F5 Product Development has assigned ID 945033 (BIG-IP) and (BIG-IQ) 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, point 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 Do not use URLs from an untrusted source for custom EAV monitors that use the Python urlsplit() function.
