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

CVSS 5.3 MEDIUMEPSS 1.1%● KEVCWE-306
In short

J-Web, a management interface in Juniper SRX firewalls, allows anyone on the network to upload and download files without logging in. This could let attackers steal data or modify system files.

Technical detail

A missing authentication vulnerability in the webauth_operation.php endpoint of Junos OS J-Web on SRX Series allows unauthenticated network-based attackers to upload and download arbitrary files, compromising file system integrity and confidentiality. This can be chained with other vulnerabilities to achieve further compromise.

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 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. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series: * 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S8; * 21.4 versions prior to 21.4R3-S6; * 22.1 versions prior to 22.1R3-S5; * 22.2 versions prior to 22.2R3-S3; * 22.3 versions prior to 22.3R3-S2; * 22.4 versions prior to 22,4R2-S2, 22.4R3; * 23.2 versions prior to 23.2R1-S2, 23.2R2.
