{"cve":"CVE-2025-59960","nvd":{"published":"2026-01-15T21:16:03.213","modified":"2026-06-17T09:46:55.813","status":"Analyzed","description":"An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the Juniper DHCP service (jdhcpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a DHCP client in one subnet to exhaust the address pools of other subnets, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) on the downstream DHCP server.\n\n\n\nBy default, the DHCP relay agent inserts its own Option 82 information when forwarding client requests, optionally replacing any Option 82 information provided by the client. When a specific DHCP DISCOVER is received in 'forward-only' mode with Option 82, the device should drop the message unless 'trust-option82' is configured. Instead, the DHCP relay forwards these packets to the DHCP server unmodified, which uses up addresses in the DHCP server's address pool, ultimately leading to address pool exhaustion.\n\nThis issue affects Junos OS: \n\n\n\n  *  all versions before 21.2R3-S10,\n  *  from 21.4 before 21.4R3-S12,\n  *  all versions of 22.2,\n  *  from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S8, \n  *  from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S5, \n  *  from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S6, \n  *  from 24.2 before 24.2R2-S2, \n  *  from 24.4 before 24.4R2, \n  *  from 25.2 before 25.2R1-S1, 25.2R2.\n\n\n\n\nJunos OS Evolved:\n\n\n\n  *  all versions before 21.4R3-S12-EVO, \n  *  all versions of 22.2-EVO,\n  *  from 22.4 before 22.4R3-S8-EVO, \n  *  from 23.2 before 23.2R2-S5-EVO, \n  *  from 23.4 before 23.4R2-S6-EVO, \n  *  from 24.2 before 24.2R2-S2-EVO, \n  *  from 24.4 before 24.4R2-EVO, \n  *  from 25.2 before 25.2R1-S1-EVO, 25.2R2-EVO.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:H/AU:Y/R:U/V:C/RE:M/U:Amber","score":6.3},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":7.4},"cwes":["CWE-754"],"references":["https://kb.juniper.net/JSA103149","https://supportportal.juniper.net/"],"products":["juniper:junos","juniper:junos_os_evolved"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:19:41.481987139+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-59960","score":0.00254,"percentile":0.17081,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
