In BIG-IP 13.0.0, 12.1.0-12.1.3.7, 11.6.1-11.6.3.2, or 11.5.1-11.5.8, the Application Acceleration Manager (AAM) wamd process used in processing of images and PDFs fails to drop group permissions when executing helper scripts.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
