In BIG-IP versions 15.1.0-15.1.0.4 and 15.0.0-15.0.1.3 the Certificate Administrator user role and higher privileged roles can perform arbitrary file reads outside of the web root directory.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
