CVE-2023-36846
Description
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 user.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 SRX 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-S5;
* 22.1 versions
prior to
22.1R3-S3;
* 22.2 versions
prior to
22.2R3-S2;
* 22.3 versions
prior to
22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3;
* 22.4 versions
prior to
22.4R2-S1, 22.4R3.
Summary dbcve.org
A missing authentication vulnerability in J-Web's user.php component allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to the SRX file system. This bypasses all authentication controls, enabling potential remote code execution when chained with other vulnerabilities.
Mitigation
Upgrade Junos OS to one of the fixed versions listed (20.4R3-S8, 21.2R3-S6, 21.3R3-S5, 21.4R3-S5, 22.1R3-S3, 22.2R3-S2, 22.3R2-S2/22.3R3, or 22.4R2-S1/22.4R3 depending on the branch).
