CVSS 3.1
6.3 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:NCVE-2020-1669
Medium (6.3) in juniper junos. EPSS 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
The Juniper Device Manager (JDM) container, used by the disaggregated Junos OS architecture on Juniper Networks NFX350 Series devices, stores password hashes in the world-readable file /etc/passwd. This is not a security best current practice as it can allow an attacker with access to the local filesystem the ability to brute-force decrypt password hashes stored on the system. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on NFX350: 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R3; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R1-S4, 20.1R2.
