On BIG-IP 13.1.0-13.1.1.4, sensitive information is logged into the local log files and/or remote logging targets when restjavad processes an invalid request. Users with access to the log files would be able to view that data.

Weakness

Information written to log files can be of a sensitive nature and give valuable guidance to an attacker or expose sensitive user information.
