A Use of Incorrectly-Resolved Name or Reference vulnerability in the URL filtering plugin of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to bypass web filtering and access downstream resources that should be unreachable.
If an MX Series device is configured with web filtering, and an attacker sends a request with a specifically formatted URL, this request will get forwarded despite the system being configured to block it. In turn, an attacker can access downstream resources that are expected to be unreachable.
This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series:
all versions before 23.2R2-S7, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S5, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4, 25.2 versions before 25.2R2-S1, 25.4 versions before 25.4R1-S2, 25.4R2.
A Missing Synchronization vulnerability in the flow collector handler of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on QFX Series allows an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
When the reachability of an sFlow collector changes, the corresponding next-hop entry is updated. If this update occurs simultaneously with the sFlow thread accessing the next-hop data (which is outside the attackers control), it causes the evo-pfemand process to crash, impacting all traffic forwarding until the automatic process restart has completed.
This issue affects Junos OS Evolved on QFX Series:
all 23.2 versions, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S7-EVO, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S5-EVO, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S3-EVO, 25.2 versions before 25.2R2-EVO.
An Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause license exhaustion.
Due to an incorrect initialization, a process which should only be able to communicate internally within the device, can be reached over the network via an open port. This leads to unauthorized access to the license management.
This issue affects all Junos OS Evolved versions before 23.2R2-EVO.
A Return of Pointer Value Outside of Expected Range vulnerability in the fileio library of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local, low-privilged attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
On EX Series, QFX Series and MX Series a low-privileged attacker issuing a specific 'show l2-learning' or 'show ethernet-switching' command will cause an l2ald crash which will lead to a temporary service impact for all layer 2 services until the process has automatically restarted.
This issue affects EX Series, QFX Series, MX Series: Junos OS:
all versions before 23.2R2-S7, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S7, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2, 24.4 versions before 24.4R1-S2.

A Use of Multiple Resources with Duplicate Identifier vulnerability in the IKE daemon (iked) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX with SPC3 and SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
On an MX with SPC3 and SRX devices configured for VPN service, when a large number of VPN negotiations fail a peer index rollover will eventually occur. As a result, new peers are assigned index values that are already in use and the iked process starts to crash repeatedly. This results in failure to establish new VPN connections and rekeying existing ones. To restore service the system must be rebooted. Please note that the index value can't be monitored, so customers should monitor tunnel up and down events and if a lot of events occur over an extended period of time it becomes likely that this issue occurs.
To be exposed to this issue the system needs to run iked (vs. kmd which is not affected), which can be verified with:
user@host> show system processes extensive | match "KMD|IKED" This issue affects Junos OS on MX with SPC3, SRX Series:
all versions before 23.2R2-S7, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S3, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4, 25.2 versions before 25.2R1-S1.
An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in the http-gatekeeper (http-gk) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
If an SRX Series device is configured for remote-access VPN with pre-logon compliance check, a network-based attacker sending specifically formatted requests can trigger an out of bounds write leading to an http-gk process crash. This crash leads to unavailability of all services depending on the [ system services web-management ] configuration (like J-Web, remote access VPN and firewall authentication) until the process automatically restarts.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX Series:
23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S7, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S4, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4, 25.2 versions before 25.2R2, 25.4 versions before 25.4R1-S1, 25.4R2.
An Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a limited information disclosure and availability impact to the device.
Due to a wrong initialization, a process which should only be able to communicate internally within the device can be reached over the network via an open port. This leads to a device being inadvertently exposed and increased CPU cycles spent processing ingress packets.
This issue affects Junos OS Evolved:
all versions before 23.2R2-S7-EVO, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8-EVO, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S5-EVO, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4-EVO, 25.2 versions before 25.2R2-S1-EVO, 25.4 versions before 25.4R1-S2-EVO.

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the chassis control daemon (chassisd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX1500, SRX4100, SRX4200 and SRX4600 allows a local attacker with low privileges to cause a complete Denial of Service (DoS).
When a specific 'show chassis' CLI command is executed, chassisd crashes and restarts which causes a momentary impact to all traffic until all modules are online again.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX1500, SRX4100, SRX4200 and SRX4600:
23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S6, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S7 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2, 25.2 versions before 25.2R1-S1, 25.2R2.
A Missing Authorization vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows a local, authenticated user with low privileges to execute specific commands which will lead to a complete compromise of managed devices.
Any user logged in, without requiring specific privileges, can issue 'request csds' CLI operational commands. These commands are only meant to be executed by high privileged or users designated for Juniper Device Manager (JDM) / Connected Security Distributed Services (CSDS) operations as they will impact all aspects of the devices managed via the respective MX.
This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series:
24.4 releases before 24.4R2-S3, 25.2 releases before 25.2R2.
This issue does not affect Junos OS releases before 24.4.
A Missing Authorization vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local user with low privileges to read sensitive information.
A local user with low privileges can execute the CLI command 'show mgd' with specific arguments which will expose sensitive information.
This issue affects
Junos OS: all versions before 22.4R3-S8, 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S6, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S4, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S1, 25.2 version before 25.2R1-S2, 25.2R2;

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to bypass the configured firewall filter and access the control-plane of the device.
On MX platforms with
MPC10, MPC11, LC4800 or LC9600
line cards, and MX304, firewall filters applied on a loopback interface lo0.n (where n is a non-0 number) don't get executed when lo0.n is in the global VRF / default routing-instance.
An affected configuration would be:
user@host# show configuration interfaces lo0 | display set set interfaces lo0 unit 1 family inet filter input <filter-name>
where a firewall filter is applied to a non-0 loopback interface, but that loopback interface is not referred to in any routing-instance (RI) configuration, which implies that it's used in the default RI.
The issue can be observed with the CLI command:
user@device> show firewall counter filter <filtername>
not showing any matches.
This issue affects Junos OS on MX Series:
all versions before 23.2R2-S6, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S7, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2.
An Incorrect Initialization of Resource vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine (pfe) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on specific EX Series and QFX Series device allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause an integrity impact to downstream networks.
When the same family inet or inet6 filter is applied on an IRB interface and on a physical interface as egress filter on EX4100, EX4400, EX4650 and QFX5120 devices, only one of the two filters will be applied, which can lead to traffic being sent out one of these interfaces which should have been blocked.
This issue affects Junos OS on EX Series and QFX Series: 23.4 version 23.4R2-S6, 24.2 version 24.2R2-S3.
No other Junos OS versions are affected.
An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the chassis control daemon (chassisd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX1600, SRX2300 and SRX4300 allows a local attacker with low privileges to cause a complete Denial of Service (DoS).
When a specific 'show chassis' CLI command is executed, chassisd crashes and restarts which causes a momentary impact to all traffic until all modules are online again.
This issue affects Junos OS on SRX1600, SRX2300 and SRX4300:
24.4 versions before 24.4R1-S3, 24.4R2.
This issue does not affect Junos OS versions before 24.4R1.
An Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos Space allows an attacker to inject script tags in the
list filter field that, when visited by another user, enables the attacker to execute commands with the target's permissions, including an administrator.
This issue affects all versions of Junos Space before 24.1R5 Patch V3.
A Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition vulnerability in the method to collect FPC Ethernet firmware statistics of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX10k Series allows a local, low-privileged attacker executing the 'show system firmware' CLI command to cause an LC480 or LC2101 line card to reset.
On MX10k Series systems with LC480 or LC2101 line cards, repeated execution of the 'show system firmware' CLI command can cause the line card to crash and restart. Additionally, some time after the line card crashes, chassisd may also crash and restart, generating a core dump.This issue affects Junos OS on MX10k Series:
all versions before 21.2R3-S10, from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S9, from 22.2 before 22.2R3-S7, from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S6, from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S2, from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S3, from 24.2 before 24.2R2.
An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause an availability impact for downstream devices.
When an affected device receives a specific optional, transitive BGP attribute over an existing BGP session, it will be erroneously modified before propagation to peers. When the attribute is detected as malformed by the peers, these peers will most likely terminate the BGP sessions with the affected devices and thereby cause an availability impact due to the resulting routing churn.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
all versions before 22.4R3-S8, 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2;

A NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in the chassis daemon (chassisd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX, SRX and EX Series allows a local attacker with low privileges to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).
When a user executes the 'show chassis' command with specifically crafted options, chassisd will crash and restart. Due to this all components but the Routing Engine (RE) in the chassis are reinitialized, which leads to a complete service outage, which the system automatically recovers from.
This issue affects:
Junos OS on MX, SRX and EX Series, except MX10000 Series and MX304:
all versions before 22.4R3-S8, 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2.
An Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability in the Juniper DHCP daemon (jdhcpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local, low-privileged user to write to the Unix socket used to manage the jdhcpd process, resulting in complete control over the resource.
This vulnerability allows any low-privileged user logged into the system to connect to the Unix socket and issue commands to manage the DHCP service, in essence, taking administrative control of the local DHCP server or DHCP relay.
This issue affects: Junos OS: all versions before 21.2R3-S10, all versions of 22.2, from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S12, from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S8, from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S5, from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S6, from 24.2 before 24.2R2-S2, from 24.4 before 24.4R2, from 25.2 before 25.2R1-S1, 25.2R2;

A clickjacking vulnerability exists in the web portal of Juniper Networks Paragon Automation (Pathfinder, Planner, Insights) due to the application's failure to set appropriate X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type HTTP headers. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trick users into interacting with the interface under the attacker's control.
This issue affects all versions of Paragon Automation (Pathfinder, Planner, Insights) before 24.1.1.
A password aging vulnerability in the RADIUS client of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an authenticated, network-based attacker to access the device without enforcing the required password change.
Affected devices allow logins by users for whom the RADIUS server has responded with a reject and required the user to change the password as their password was expired. Therefore the policy mandating the password change is not enforced. This does not allow users to login with a wrong password, but only with the correct but expired one.
This issue affects:
Junos OS:
all versions before 22.4R3-S8, 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S4, 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S5, 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S1, 24.4 versions before 24.4R1-S3, 24.4R2;

An Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos Space allows an attacker to inject script tags in the
CLI Configlet
page that, when visited by another user, enables the attacker to execute commands with the target's permissions, including an administrator.
This issue affects all versions of Junos Space before 24.1R4.
Multiple instances of an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved could be used to elevate privileges and/or execute unauthorized commands.
When an attacker executes crafted CLI commands, the options are processed via a script in some cases. These scripts are not hardened so injected commands might be executed via the shell, which allows an attacker to perform operations, which they should not be able to do according to their assigned permissions.
This issue affects Junos OS Evolved:
24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2-EVO, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-EVO.
This issue does not affect Junos OS Evolved versions earlier than 24.2R1-EVO.
