Remote denial-of-service in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved 25.2 (before 25.2R2 / 25.2R2-EVO) lets an adjacent, unauthenticated BGP peer crash the routing protocol daemon (RPD) by sending a single malformed non-inet/inet6 unicast BGP update over an already-established session. The RPD crash-and-restart produces a full routing outage until reconvergence completes, though the crash occurs before the update is readvertised so there is no downstream propagation to other routers. CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.1; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Denial-of-service in the Packet Forwarding Engine of Juniper Junos OS on MX Series routers allows an unauthenticated, network-adjacent attacker to crash and restart the FPC by continuously flapping Micro-BFD sessions. The PFEMAN process queues each up/down event and, in a Virtual-Chassis deployment with locality-bias enabled, processing is slow enough that a sustained flap backlog prevents completion and trips the PFEMAN watchdog timer, forcing an FPC restart and a full traffic outage. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not in CISA KEV, but the low complexity and unauthenticated adjacent vector make it a credible availability threat to affected line cards (MPC9 and below).

Memory exhaustion in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved snmpd allows an authenticated network attacker to crash SNMP monitoring by sending specific valid SNMPv3 queries that trigger an out-of-bounds write and progressive memory leak. The snmpd process will exhaust available memory over time, crash, and restart, rendering SNMP-based network monitoring unavailable for the duration of each crash cycle. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and this is not listed in CISA KEV; however, the CVSS 4.0 supplemental metric AU:Y indicates the attack is automatable.

Denial-of-service in Juniper Junos OS Evolved on PTX Series routers lets an unauthenticated network attacker crash the advanced forwarding toolkit process (evo-aftmand) on the Packet Forwarding Engine by driving continuous routing updates that produce unified-list (unilist) ECMP routes. The resulting internal state corruption generates an evo-aftmand-bx core and halts forwarding, requiring a manual FPC restart or system reboot to recover. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; the vendor (Juniper SIRT) notes successful exploitation depends on a sequence of events outside the attacker's direct control, so this is a high-CVSS availability issue rather than a trivially reproducible one.

NULL pointer dereference in the Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved management daemon (mgd) allows a local, high-privileged attacker to crash the mgd process by manipulating a specific 'system services ssh' configuration parameter. Repeated execution of the offending configuration commands sustains the Denial of Service condition until the action ceases, as mgd will restart but crash again upon re-triggering. No public exploit code has been identified and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog; the attack barrier is high, requiring both local access and administrative-level credentials.

Web filtering bypass on Juniper Networks Junos OS MX Series exposes downstream resources to unauthenticated network attackers by allowing a specially formatted URL to evade the URL filtering plugin. The flaw stems from incorrect name or reference resolution (CWE-706), causing the router to forward traffic that security policy mandates be dropped. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 carries an Automatable:Yes modifier, indicating the bypass is scriptable at scale against any qualifying deployment.

Denial-of-service in Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX Series switches (EX2300, EX3400, EX4000, EX4100, EX4400) lets a low-privileged authenticated attacker crash the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) by subscribing over gRPC to an unsupported telemetry sensor path in the packet forwarding engine. Each crash produces a complete forwarding outage until the module auto-restarts, and the trigger can be repeated for sustained disruption. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low complexity and single low-privilege prerequisite make it operationally easy to trigger.

Ingress firewall filter bypass in Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series hardware (MPC10/11, LC4800/9600/4802, MX304) allows adjacent subscribers on static interfaces to evade configured protocol-level access controls and upstream bandwidth limitations. The Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) fails to enforce ingress filters for these subscriber configurations, meaning neither protocol restrictions nor rate-limiting policies take effect. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV, though the CVSS 4.0 AU:Y (Automatable) supplemental metric indicates exploitation could be scripted at scale against affected broadband aggregation deployments.

Denial-of-service in Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series devices lets an unauthenticated, network-based attacker exhaust the packet forwarding engine (PFE) by exploiting a race condition in stateful flow teardown. When the race is hit, a flow's timeout is mis-set to a very high value (>10,000s instead of 3s), so sessions are never reaped, invalidated sessions accumulate without bound, and the device eventually stops forwarding or hits a flowd core and reboots. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; exploitation is probabilistic because the triggering conditions are outside the attacker's control.

Traffic forwarding on Juniper QFX Series switches running Junos OS Evolved can be fully disrupted by an adjacent, unauthenticated attacker exploiting a race condition in the sFlow collector handler. When sFlow collector reachability changes trigger a next-hop entry update concurrently with the sFlow thread reading that same next-hop data, the evo-pfemand process crashes and all packet forwarding halts until the process automatically restarts. No public exploit code exists and this vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog at time of analysis, but the availability impact is severe for any network segment relying on the affected switch.

License exhaustion in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved lets an unauthenticated, network-based attacker reach the device's license-management process, which was intended to be internal-only but is exposed on an open network port due to incorrect initialization. All Junos OS Evolved releases before 23.2R2-EVO are affected. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and lack of authentication make it a credible network-facing denial-of-service risk to affected routing/switching platforms.

Denial-of-service in Juniper Junos OS on EX4100 and EX4400 Series switches allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to exhaust packet-forwarding-engine memory and crash the Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC). The flaw triggers only when sFlow monitoring is enabled in a Virtual Chassis and multicast traffic ingresses on one VC member and egresses on another, causing a slow buffer leak that culminates in an FPC crash and restart. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and lack of authentication make it a credible availability risk for affected deployments.

Denial-of-service in Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series (with SPC3) and SRX Series devices allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to crash the flow processing daemon (flowd) by sending a malformed SIP INVITE packet when the SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG) is enabled. The crash forces a flowd restart, producing a complete traffic-forwarding outage until the device auto-recovers, and can be repeated to sustain the outage. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; not listed in CISA KEV, and no EPSS score was provided.

Denial-of-service in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved on EX Series, QFX Series, and MX Series allows a local, low-privileged attacker to crash the l2ald (Layer 2 Address Learning Daemon) by issuing a specific 'show l2-learning' CLI command, disrupting all Layer 2 services until the process automatically restarts. The root cause is a Return of Pointer Value Outside of Expected Range flaw (CWE-466) in the fileio library. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and active exploitation has not been confirmed by CISA or the vendor.

Repeated IKE negotiation failures on Juniper Junos OS (MX with SPC3 and SRX Series) cause a peer index rollover that assigns duplicate index values to new peers, triggering continuous iked process crashes and a full VPN service outage requiring system reboot. Unauthenticated network-based attackers can deliberately flood the device with failing VPN negotiations to accelerate the rollover condition. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, but the network-reachable, zero-privilege attack vector makes this a meaningful risk for any organization relying on Juniper-based VPN infrastructure with iked enabled.

Remote denial of service in Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series (with SPC3) and SRX Series firewalls lets an unauthenticated network attacker crash the flow processing daemon (flowd) by sending a single TCP packet with a malformed TCP header when the TCP proxy is active. Because TCP proxy is engaged whenever ALGs, Advanced Anti-Malware, ICAP, or UTM services inspect a flow, exploitation forces a complete traffic-forwarding outage until the daemon auto-restarts. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, but the low attack complexity and lack of authentication make it a credible availability threat to perimeter devices.

Denial-of-service in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Junos OS on MX (with SPC3) and SRX-series firewalls lets an unauthenticated, network-based attacker crash and restart the PFE, dropping all traffic-forwarding services until automatic recovery. Exploitation is indirect: the attacker must lure or wait for the affected device to initiate an outbound TCP connection to an attacker-controlled system, which then replies with a crafted packet that trips an unhandled exceptional condition (CWE-754). Juniper-reported with CVSS 4.0 8.2; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not in CISA KEV.

Out-of-bounds write in the Juniper Networks Junos OS http-gatekeeper (http-gk) process on SRX Series firewalls crashes the process when handling crafted network requests, taking down all web-management-dependent services including J-Web, remote-access VPN, and firewall authentication until automatic process recovery. Exploitation is gated on a specific non-default configuration - remote-access VPN with pre-logon compliance check enabled - limiting the exposed population to SRX deployments that actively use this feature. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis, and the official CVSS 5.3 score reflects the limited, reversible availability-only impact.

Denial-of-service in Juniper Networks Junos OS on QFX10000 Series switches allows an unauthenticated, adjacent (Layer 2) attacker to saturate data-center links by injecting IPv6 multicast traffic in an EVPN-VxLAN fabric. When such packets reach a non-IRB interface of a spine switch, the packet-forwarding engine floods them to other spines and all ESI leaf switches, creating an endless forwarding loop that starves legitimate traffic. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV; the vendor-assigned CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.1.

Denial-of-service in the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series routers lets an unauthenticated, Layer-2 adjacent attacker crash a line card by sending a single crafted packet within the same broadcast domain. The affected system miscalculates the packet size (CWE-1284, improper validation of specified quantity in input), which fails downstream processing and raises an MQSS major CMError that forces an automatic FPC reset, interrupting all traffic on that FPC until it recovers. Only deployments handling MAP-T or non-IP-over-IP traffic (e.g. MPLS over GRE) are exposed; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Junos OS Evolved exposes an internal communication process to the network via an unintended open port due to incorrect initialization, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to interact with a service never designed for external access. Affected Juniper devices suffer limited information disclosure and elevated CPU consumption as the misbound process handles unsolicited ingress packets - a soft availability degradation rather than a crash. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, but the unauthenticated network vector across a broad version range warrants prompt patching on internet-facing routing infrastructure.

Junos OS on Juniper EX Series access switches exposes a missing authorization flaw in the CLI that allows any locally authenticated user, regardless of privilege class or assigned permissions, to execute a specific privileged 'request' command and cause complete traffic disruption on the affected switch. Affected platforms span EX2300, EX4000, EX4100, EX4300-MP, and EX4400 across six active Junos OS release trains from 23.2 through 25.4. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and the system recovers automatically, but the low barrier to exploitation - any authenticated local user qualifies - makes this a meaningful insider threat in shared-access or multi-tenant switch environments.

Configuration injection in FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 allows an attacker who controls the attacker IP string passed to the Juniper integration plugin to inject arbitrary Juniper NETCONF set/delete commands, leading to full router compromise. The flaw lives in the PHP-based Juniper plugin where unsanitized argv input is interpolated into NETCONF commands, and although no public exploit identified at time of analysis (EPSS 0.03%), the technical impact is rated total under SSVC and CVSS scores 8.1.

OS command injection in FastNetMon Community Edition (through 1.2.9) lets attacker-controlled input reach an unescaped exec() call inside the Juniper router integration plugin, enabling arbitrary shell command execution on the host. The flaw lives in the _log() function of src/juniper_plugin/fastnetmon_juniper.php, where the $msg argument (built from argv[1]-argv[3]: attack IP, direction, power) is concatenated directly into a shell command. Although rated CVSS 9.8, practical exploitation is gated: FastNetMon's C++ core currently feeds IPs through inet_ntoa(), which only yields safe dotted-decimal strings, so injection requires the script to be driven directly or by a third-party orchestrator. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

OS command injection in FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 lets an authenticated network attacker execute arbitrary shell commands via the MikroTik router integration plugin by influencing argv[] values passed to the unsanitized _log() function. The flaw mirrors a previously disclosed Juniper plugin issue in the same project, and while a public technical write-up exists at lorikeetsecurity.com, no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified, with EPSS at 0.05% (17th percentile).

BGP session reset vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS 25.2 and Junos OS Evolved 25.2-EVO allows adjacent unauthenticated attackers to trigger Denial of Service by sending malformed BGP packets within established sessions. Affects both eBGP and iBGP implementations across IPv4 and IPv6. Repeated exploitation enables sustained service disruption. Vulnerability confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV). No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Adjacent network access required; attacker must be on same network segment as BGP peering.

Command injection in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved CLI processing allows high-privileged local attackers to execute arbitrary shell commands as root through crafted 'set system' arguments, enabling complete system compromise. Affects all versions before multiple fixed releases across both operating systems. Authentication required (high-privileged local access). No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Denial of service in Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows unauthenticated remote attackers to crash srxpfe process via malformed ICMPv6 packets during NAT64 translation. Repeated exploitation sustains DoS by forcing continuous process restarts. Affects wide range of Junos OS versions from 21.2 through 25.2 on SRX hardware. Vulnerability limited to ICMPv6 traffic; IPv4 and standard IPv6 cannot trigger. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Denial of service in Juniper Networks Junos OS chassis control daemon (chassisd) on SRX1500, SRX4100, SRX4200, and SRX4600 allows local attackers with low privileges to crash the daemon via a specific 'show chassis' CLI command, causing complete traffic disruption until modules restart. The vulnerability affects Junos OS versions 23.2 before 23.2R2-S6, 23.4 before 23.4R2-S7, 24.2 before 24.2R2-S2, 24.4 before 24.4R2, and 25.2 before 25.2R1-S1 or 25.2R2. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows authenticated local users with low privileges to execute 'request csds' CLI commands intended only for high-privileged administrators or CSDS operators, enabling complete compromise of managed devices. The vulnerability affects Junos OS 24.4 releases before 24.4R2-S3 and 25.2 releases before 25.2R2. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, though the CVSS score of 6.3 reflects moderate severity with high system impact.

Full device takeover in Juniper Networks Support Insights Virtual Lightweight Collector (vLWC) before 3.0.94 via hardcoded default credentials. The vLWC software ships with an unchangeable initial password for a high-privileged account with no enforced password change during provisioning, enabling unauthenticated remote attackers to gain complete system control. CVSS v4.0 score 9.3 (Critical). No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Complete persistent denial of service in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on PTX Series routers allows authenticated, low-privilege network attackers to crash the evo-aftmand service with no automatic recovery. The vulnerability triggers when PCEP-provisioned colored SRTE policy tunnels with 32-bit ASN values (greater than 65,535) in the Originator ASN field are monitored via gRPC, causing permanent forwarding plane failure until manual system restart. Affects multiple versions through 25.2 release train. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Packet buffer allocation failure in Juniper EX4000 and QFX5000 Series switches allows adjacent unauthenticated attackers to cause persistent Denial of Service requiring manual device restart. Attack vector requires specific configuration: device configured as service-provider edge with L2PT enabled on UNI and VSTP enabled on NNI in VXLAN scenarios. Receiving VSTP BPDUs on UNI triggers buffer exhaustion, halting all traffic forwarding. Affects Junos OS 24.4 through 24.4R1, 25.2 through 25.2R1. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Remote denial-of-service in Juniper Networks Junos OS (SRX/MX Series) allows unauthenticated attackers to crash IPsec daemons via malformed ISAKMP packets. Exploiting the improper input validation (CWE-1286) in kmd/iked IPsec library causes process restart, preventing new VPN security association establishment. Repeated attacks create sustained inability to establish VPN connections, severely degrading network connectivity for affected enterprise firewalls and routing platforms. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Missing authorization in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved CLI allows local users with low privileges to execute the 'show mgd' command with specific arguments to read sensitive information. The vulnerability affects multiple version branches of both Junos OS (22.4, 23.2, 23.4, 24.2, 24.4, 25.2) and Junos OS Evolved (23.2, 23.4, 24.2, 24.4, 25.2), with patches available for all affected versions. CVSS score is 6.8 with high confidentiality impact but no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Firewall filter bypass in Juniper Networks Junos OS on MX Series allows unauthenticated network-based attackers to access the control plane by exploiting improper exception handling in the packet forwarding engine when firewall filters are applied to non-zero loopback interfaces in the default routing instance. Affected MX platforms with MPC10, MPC11, LC4800, LC9600 line cards and MX304 models running Junos OS versions before 23.2R2-S6, 23.4R2-S7, 24.2R2, or 24.4R2 fail to enforce configured lo0.n ingress filters, allowing bypass of access controls designed to protect critical infrastructure management interfaces. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the vulnerability requires only network access and no authentication to trigger.

Juniper Networks CTP OS 9.2R1 and 9.2R2 fail to persist password complexity settings, enabling unauthenticated attackers to exploit predictable weak passwords on local accounts. The password management function allows administrators to configure complexity requirements but does not save these configurations, verifiable through 'Show password requirements' menu. This defect permits trivial passwords that attackers can brute-force remotely to gain full device control. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Man-in-the-middle attack against Juniper Networks Apstra allows unauthenticated attackers to impersonate managed network devices and capture credentials due to insufficient SSH host key validation. The vulnerability affects all Apstra versions before 6.1.1, enabling interception of SSH connections between the Apstra orchestration platform and managed infrastructure. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though the attack requires network positioning between Apstra and target devices.

Certificate chain validation bypass in Juniper Junos OS J-Web on SRX Series enables person-in-the-middle attackers to intercept Security Director cloud communications, exposing credentials and sensitive data. All SRX devices connecting to SD cloud fail to properly verify server certificates, allowing interception of authentication material and configuration data. Affects Junos OS versions across all branches prior to 22.4R3-S9, 23.2R2-S6, 23.4R2-S7, 24.2R2-S3, 24.4R2-S2, and 25.2R1-S2/25.2R2. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Network-positioned attacker with high complexity required (CVSS AC:H).

Memory exhaustion in Juniper Networks Junos OS BroadBand Edge subscriber management daemon (bbe-smgd) on MX Series allows adjacent unauthenticated attackers to trigger persistent denial of service by sending authentication packets that do not match configured packet-type options. Each mismatched packet leaks memory, eventually consuming all available daemon heap memory and preventing new subscriber logins. Authentication packet-type configuration must be active for exploitation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Memory leak in Juniper Networks Junos OS jdhcpd daemon enables adjacent unauthenticated attackers to crash DHCP services on MX Series routers. Each DHCPv6 subscriber logout in PPPoE or VLAN configurations with active/bulk lease query leaks memory, eventually exhausting resources and triggering jdhcpd crash. Service remains unavailable until process restart completes. Affects all Junos OS versions before 22.4R3-S1, 23.2 versions before 23.2R2, and 23.4 versions before 23.4R2. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Memory leak in Juniper Networks l2ald daemon allows adjacent attackers to crash Layer 2 services on EVPN-MPLS networks. Affects Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved across multiple versions. Unauthenticated attackers on the same network segment can trigger resource exhaustion by causing ESI route churn from multi-homed Provider Edge devices, forcing l2ald process crash and restart. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but exploitation requires only network adjacency without authentication.

Packet forwarding engine (pfe) in Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX4100, EX4400, EX4650, and QFX5120 devices fails to correctly initialize egress filters on IRB and physical interfaces, allowing unauthenticated network-based attackers to bypass security policies and cause integrity impact by forwarding traffic that should be blocked. The vulnerability affects Junos OS versions 23.4R2-S6 and 24.2R2-S3. EPSS score of 6.9 reflects moderate exploitation probability; no active exploitation confirmed (non-KEV status).

Denial of service in Juniper Junos OS chassis control daemon (chassisd) on SRX1600, SRX2300, and SRX4300 devices allows local attackers with low privileges to trigger a complete crash via a specific 'show chassis' CLI command, causing temporary traffic disruption until module recovery. Junos OS 24.4 versions before 24.4R1-S3 and 24.4R2 are affected; no public exploit code identified at time of analysis.

Symbolic link manipulation in Juniper Networks Junos OS CLI enables authenticated local attackers with low privileges to escalate to root access. Exploitation requires two users: the first performs a 'file link ...' CLI operation, then after the second user commits unrelated configuration changes, the first user can authenticate as root, achieving full system compromise. Affects Junos OS versions across 23.2, 23.4, 24.2, 24.4, and 25.2 release trains prior to specified patch levels. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Local privilege escalation in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on PTX Series routers allows authenticated users with low privileges to gain high-privileged direct access to Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), enabling potential full compromise of affected line cards. Impacts PTX10004, PTX10008, PTX10016 with JNP10K-LC1201 or JNP10K-LC1202 line cards across multiple firmware branches. Missing authentication on critical FPC management functions permits unauthorized privilege elevation. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Management daemon deadlock in Juniper Networks Junos OS 23.4-24.4 and Junos OS Evolved enables network-based authenticated attackers to trigger complete management plane denial-of-service via rapid NETCONF session cycling. Vulnerability causes mgd processes to hang in lockf state, exhausting process pool and preventing administrative logins. Recovery requires device power-cycle. Affects deployments using NETCONF management interface with authenticated remote users. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Command injection in Juniper Networks Support Insights Virtual Lightweight Collector (JSI vLWC) CLI enables local high-privileged attackers to escalate privileges to root. Inadequate input validation in the CLI menu permits shell command injection, with injected commands executing at root level. All JSI vLWC versions before 3.0.94 affected. CVSS 8.4 (High severity, local vector). Requires high-level existing privileges (PR:H). No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Juniper Networks Junos Space allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject malicious script tags into the list filter field, which execute with the permissions of any user who views the affected page, including administrators. All versions before 24.1R5 Patch V3 are vulnerable. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

Unauthenticated buffer overflow in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved advanced forwarding toolkit (evo-aftmand/evo-pfemand) permits adjacent attackers to crash PTX Series and QFX5000 Series devices via crafted multicast packets. Exploitation triggers line card or device restart, sustaining denial of service under continuous attack. Affects multiple Junos OS Evolved release branches before patched versions. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. Attack requires adjacent network access but no authentication, making exploitation feasible in shared network segments.

Local privilege escalation in Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows low-privileged authenticated users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. When unsigned Python operation scripts are enabled in device configuration, attackers can inject and execute malicious op scripts under root-equivalent context, achieving complete system compromise. Affects all Junos OS versions before 22.4R3-S7 and multiple branches through 24.4, plus corresponding Junos OS Evolved releases. No public exploit identified at time of analysis. CVSS 8.5 (High) with local attack vector requiring low privileges and no user interaction.

Privilege escalation in Juniper Networks Junos OS allows high-privileged local attackers to gain root access on Linux-based line cards running Junos OS Evolved. Missing authentication in critical command processing functions enables authenticated administrators with elevated privileges to bypass access controls and execute commands as root on affected hardware modules including MPC7-11, LC2101/2103, LC480/4800/9600, MX304 built-in FPC, MX-SPC3, SRX5K-SPC3, EX9200-40XS, and PTX-series line cards. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Incorrect permission assignment on critical resources in Juniper Networks On-Box Anomaly detection framework. Allows unauthorized modification of anomaly detection configuration, potentially disabling security monitoring.

Repeated telemetry collector subscriptions in Juniper Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved trigger a use-after-free vulnerability in the chassis daemon, allowing authenticated network attackers to crash critical processes and cause denial of service. Affected versions prior to 22.4R3-S8, 23.2R2-S5, and 23.4R2 are vulnerable when telemetry-capable daemons experience continuous sensor subscription cycles. No patch is currently available, leaving affected systems exposed until updates are released.

Denial-of-service attacks against Juniper SRX Series devices running Junos OS 23.4 through 24.4 can be triggered remotely by sending a maliciously crafted DNS request, causing the flowd process to crash and interrupt service until recovery completes. The vulnerability stems from an unchecked return value in the DNS module that allows unauthenticated, network-based attackers to exploit DNS-enabled SRX configurations without any user interaction. No patch is currently available for affected versions.

Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX and MX Series is vulnerable to a double free condition in the flow processing daemon that an unauthenticated network attacker can trigger via a specific TCP packet sequence, causing the daemon to crash and the Fabric Routing Card to restart. This denial-of-service vulnerability affects all versions before 22.4R3-S7, 23.2 before 23.2R2-S3, 23.4 before 23.4R2-S4, and 24.2 before 24.2R2, with no patch currently available. An attacker on the network can exploit this vulnerability without authentication or user interaction to disrupt service availability.

Malformed SSL packets can trigger a Denial-of-Service condition in Juniper SRX devices running Junos OS with UTM Web-Filtering enabled, causing Forwarding Processor Card (FPC) crashes and restarts without requiring authentication. An unauthenticated network-based attacker can exploit this input validation flaw in the Web-Filtering module to disrupt device availability across affected Junos versions (23.2R2-S2 through 24.4R2). No patches are currently available for earlier Junos versions, and affected systems remain vulnerable until updates are applied.

Juniper SRX Series devices are vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks when processing malformed GTP Modify Bearer Request messages, which trigger an improper lock condition that freezes packet processing threads and causes watchdog timeouts. An unauthenticated network attacker can exploit this without user interaction to crash the forwarding processor and cause complete traffic outages requiring device restart. No patch is currently available for affected Junos OS versions.

Unauthenticated network-based attackers can cause a denial of service on Juniper EX4000-48T, EX4000-48P, and EX4000-48MP switches by sending high-volume traffic that crashes the FXPC component and forces a device restart. The vulnerability stems from improper resource initialization in the Internal Device Manager and results in complete service outage until automatic recovery completes. Affected versions include Junos OS 24.4 before 24.4R2 and 25.2 before 25.2R1, with no patch currently available.

A race condition in Juniper Junos OS on MX10k Series with LC480 or LC2101 line cards allows low-privileged local users to crash line card and potentially chassis daemons by repeatedly executing the 'show system firmware' command. Affected versions include all releases before 21.2R3-S10 and multiple later branches up to 23.2R, with no patch currently available. This denial of service vulnerability requires local access and can be triggered without elevated privileges.

MAC learning failures in Juniper Junos OS Evolved's Layer 2 Control Protocol Daemon can be triggered by a network-adjacent attacker who repeatedly toggles the management interface, causing label-switched interface MAC address learning to halt while generating excessive logs and consuming high CPU resources. This calculation error (CWE-682) affects availability through denial of service and currently has no available patch. The attack requires network adjacency but no authentication or user interaction.

EVPN-VXLAN traffic interruption in Juniper Junos on EX4k and QFX5k Series platforms allows adjacent network attackers to trigger interface link flaps that cause inter-VNI traffic to drop in configurations using Virtual Port-Link Aggregation Groups. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this condition to deny service to VXLAN traffic between virtual network identifiers when multiple load-balanced next-hop routes exist for the same destination. No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.

Denial of service in Juniper Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an adjacent IS-IS neighbor to trigger a memory leak in the routing protocol daemon by sending specially crafted update packets. Repeated exploitation exhausts available memory and crashes the rpd process, rendering routing unavailable. No patch is currently available.

Juniper Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved contain a use-after-free vulnerability in the 802.1X authentication daemon that allows authenticated, network-adjacent attackers to crash the process or achieve arbitrary code execution as root by triggering specific port state changes. Exploitation requires precise timing of a change-of-authorization event during port transitions, making reliable exploitation difficult but possible. Systems with 802.1X port-based network access control enabled are affected, and no patch is currently available.

Junos Space versions up to 24.1 is affected by use of a broken or risky cryptographic algorithm (CVSS 5.9).

Juniper Junos OS SRX Series suffers a denial of service vulnerability in the packet forwarding engine when PowerMode IPsec and GRE performance acceleration are both enabled, allowing remote attackers to crash the device by sending a specially crafted ICMP packet through a GRE tunnel.
