BaseFortify

Publication date: 2025-10-09

Last updated on: 2025-10-14

Assigner: Juniper Networks, Inc.

Description
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.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is an OS Command Injection in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved. It occurs because certain CLI commands are processed via scripts that are not properly hardened, allowing an attacker to inject and execute unauthorized commands through the shell. This can lead to privilege escalation or execution of commands beyond the attacker's assigned permissions.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

The vulnerability can allow an attacker to elevate their privileges and execute unauthorized commands on the affected system. This means an attacker could perform operations they are not permitted to do, potentially compromising system integrity, confidentiality, and availability.


What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?

To mitigate this vulnerability, upgrade Junos OS Evolved to version 24.2R2-S2-EVO or later if you are running a 24.2 version, or to version 24.4R2-EVO or later if you are running a 24.4 version. Avoid using vulnerable versions before these fixed releases.
