Junos OS: SRX Series: A vulnerability in J-Web allows an unauthenticated attacker to upload arbitrary files

CVSS 5.3 MEDIUMEPSS 94.2%● KEVCWE-306
In short

A weakness in Juniper SRX firewalls allows anyone on the network to upload files without logging in through J-Web, potentially damaging system files and creating opportunities for further attacks.

Technical detail

Missing authentication on the user.php endpoint in J-Web enables unauthenticated file upload via HTTP request, compromising file system integrity on affected SRX devices. This CWE-306 vulnerability can be chained with other flaws to escalate impact on vulnerable Junos OS versions.

Summary generated and translated by AI from the official 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.
