New Juniper Junos OS Flaws Expose Devices to Remote Attacks - Patch Now
2023-08-19 07:38

Networking hardware company Juniper Networks has released an "Out-of-cycle" security update to address multiple flaws in the J-Web component of Junos OS that could be combined to achieve remote code execution on susceptible installations.

They affect all versions of Junos OS on SRX and EX Series.

The J-Web interface allows users to configure, manage, and monitor Junos OS devices.

CVE-2023-36844 and CVE-2023-36845 - Two PHP external variable modification vulnerabilities in J-Web of Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX Series and SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to control certain, important environments variables.

CVE-2023-36846 and CVE-2023-36847 - Two missing authentications for critical function vulnerabilities in Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX Series and SRX Series allow an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause limited impact to the file system integrity.

As a workaround, Juniper Networks is suggesting that users either disable J-Web or limit access to only trusted hosts.

DATE CVE VULNERABILITY TITLE RISK
2023-08-17 CVE-2023-36847 Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in Juniper Junos
A Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause limited impact to the file system integrity. With a specific request to installAppPackage.php that doesn't require authentication an attacker is able to upload arbitrary files via J-Web, leading to a loss of integrity for a certain part of the file system, which may allow chaining to other vulnerabilities. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX Series: * All versions prior to 20.4R3-S8; * 21.1 versions 21.1R1 and later; * 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S6; * 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R3-S5; * 21.4 versions prior to 21.4R3-S4; * 22.1 versions prior to 22.1R3-S3; * 22.2 versions prior to 22.2R3-S1; * 22.3 versions prior to 22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3; * 22.4 versions prior to 22.4R2-S1, 22.4R3.
