Medium (5.3) in Juniper Junos OS. In CISA KEV since 2023-11-13. EPSS 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
A Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause limited impact to the file system integrity.
With a specific request to
webauth_operation.php
that doesn't require authentication, an attacker is able to upload and download arbitrary files via J-Web, leading to a loss of
integrity or confidentiality, which may allow chaining to other vulnerabilities.
