CERT-FR has issued an advisory covering multiple vulnerabilities discovered in F5 products, including BIG-IP, BIG-IP APM, APM Clients, BIG-IQ, NGINX Gateway Fabric, NGINX Ingress Controller, and NGINX JavaScript. The vulnerabilities span a wide range of impact types including remote code execution, privilege escalation, remote denial of service, data integrity and confidentiality breaches, security policy bypass, and server-side request forgery (SSRF). No active exploitation is mentioned in the advisory.
Affected versions include APM Clients prior to 7.2.6, BIG-IP APM 17.1.x prior to 17.1.3.1 and 17.5.x prior to 17.5.1.4, BIG-IP 17.1.x/17.5.x/21.0.x/21.1.x prior to various patched builds, BIG-IQ 8.4.x prior to 8.4.2.1, and several NGINX components (Gateway Fabric, Ingress Controller, JavaScript) prior to their respective fixed versions. Nine CVEs are referenced across nine separate F5 security bulletins published in early September 2026.
Organizations running F5 BIG-IP, BIG-IQ, or NGINX products should consult the referenced F5 security bulletins (K000162872, K000161728, K000162417, K000162521, K000162599-K000162603) to identify applicable patches and apply them according to their exposure. Given the range of impacts—particularly remote code execution and privilege escalation on widely deployed application delivery and ingress infrastructure—prompt patching is recommended, though the advisory does not indicate in-the-wild exploitation at time of publication.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
