CISA Adds Actively Exploited F5 BIG-IP APM Flaw to KEV Catalog

CISA placed the actively exploited F5 BIG-IP APM heap-based buffer overflow CVE-2026-94127 into its KEV catalog on 2026-09-22 with a three-day remediation deadline for federal agencies. The zero-day enables unauthenticated remote code execution on systems running both an access policy and OAuth profile on the same virtual server, prompting immediate patching and forensic triage.

CISA has added CVE-2026-94127, a heap-based buffer overflow in F5 BIG-IP APM, to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote code execution when an access policy and an OAuth profile are configured on the same virtual server. It was added on 2026-09-22 with a federal remediation deadline of 2026-09-25.

F5 BIG-IP APM is under active exploitation. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security and NCSC Netherlands confirm the flaw is being exploited as a zero-day. It carries a CVSS v4 score of 9.3 and can be triggered by sending malicious traffic.
The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security and NCSC Netherlands confirm the flaw is being exploited as a zero-day.

Affected systems require the specific combination of APM access policy and OAuth profile on one virtual server. CISA directs federal agencies to apply mitigations per vendor instructions in line with BOD 26-04. Organizations must evaluate internet exposure of each asset and either patch or discontinue use if mitigations are unavailable.

Vendor guidance and hotfixes are available. F5 has released hotfix versions such as 17.1.0 Hotfix-BIGIP-17.1.3.5.0.41.14-ENG. The company recommends deploying an iRule as a temporary mitigation. Its advisory is tracked as K000162605.
Both CISA and the NCSC advise checking for indicators of compromise prior to remediation.
Forensic triage is mandatory before patching. Both CISA and the NCSC advise checking for indicators of compromise prior to remediation. This follows CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” under BOD 26-04. Stakeholders remain responsible for compliance even in cloud deployments.

Related Check Point vulnerability also added today. On the same date CISA added CVE-2026-85102, an improper certificate validation flaw in Check Point Security Gateway and Spark Firewall. It too could allow unauthenticated remote code execution and requires forensic triage per BOD 26-04. The dual additions underscore heightened focus on VPN and access-policy products.

EXPERT TAKE

Enterprise teams running BIG-IP APM should treat this as an emergency patch; the combination of zero-day exploitation, high CVSS, and short BOD 26-04 window leaves little margin before ransomware actors weaponize it.
