DescriptionNVD

An Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a high privileged, local attacker to escalated their privileges to root.

When a user provides specifically crafted arguments to the 'request system logout' command, these will be executed as root on the shell, which can completely compromise the device. This issue affects:

Junos OS:

all versions before 21.2R3-S9,
21.4 versions before 21.4R3-S8,
22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S6,
22.3 versions before 22.3R3-S3,
22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S6,
23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S1,
23.4 versions before 23.4R1-S2, 23.4R2;

Junos OS Evolved:

all versions before 22.4R3-S6-EVO,
23.2-EVO versions before 23.2R2-S1-EVO,
23.4-EVO versions before 23.4R1-S2-EVO, 23.4R2-EVO.

Technical ContextAI

Command injection allows an attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the host system through a vulnerable application that passes user input to system shells. This vulnerability is classified as OS Command Injection (CWE-78).

RemediationAI

Avoid passing user input to system commands. Use language-specific APIs instead of shell commands. If unavoidable, use strict input validation and escaping.
