From the published CISA mitigation[0]:
A nation-state affiliated cyber threat actor has
compromised F5’s systems and exfiltrated files, which
included a portion of its BIG-IP source code and
vulnerability information. The threat actor’s access to
F5’s proprietary source code could provide that threat
actor with a technical advantage to exploit F5 devices and
software.

Or maybe it is a responsible vulnerability disclosure whose impact is described thusly[0]:
This cyber threat actor presents an imminent threat to
federal networks using F5 devices and software. Successful
exploitation of the impacted F5 products could enable a
threat actor to access embedded credentials and Application
Programming Interface (API) keys, move laterally within an
organization’s network, exfiltrate data, and establish
persistent system access. This could potentially lead to a
full compromise of target information systems.
