CVE-2022-22241
Overview
This vulnerability is an improper input validation flaw in the J-Web component of Juniper Networks Junos OS. The root cause lies in insecure deserialization triggered by crafted POST requests that bypass input validation controls. The affected component is the web management interface, which processes user-supplied serialized data without adequate verification, leading to unsafe object deserialization.
Vulnerability Description
An Improper Input Validation vulnerability in the J-Web component of Juniper Networks Junos OS may allow an unauthenticated attacker to access data without proper authorization. Utilizing a crafted POST request, deserialization may occur which could lead to unauthorized local file access or the ability to execute arbitrary commands. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS: all versions prior to 19.1R3-S9; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R3-S6; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R3-S7; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R2-S7, 19.4R3-S9; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R3-S5; 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R3-S5; 20.3 versions prior to 20.3R3-S5; 20.4 versions prior to 20.4R3-S4; 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R3-S2; 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S1; 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R2-S2, 21.3R3; 21.4 versions prior to 21.4R1-S2, 21.4R2-S1, 21.4R3; 22.1 versions prior to 22.1R1-S1, 22.1R2.
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the J-Web interface can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands or access sensitive local files on the device. This can lead to complete compromise of the affected system, including unauthorized data disclosure and potential disruption of network services. The attack requires no user interaction and leverages network-level access, consistent with the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N.
Solution
Juniper Networks has released patches addressing this vulnerability in multiple Junos OS versions. Users should upgrade to versions 19.1R3-S9, 19.2R3-S6, 19.3R3-S7, 19.4R2-S7 or later, as specified in advisory JSA69899 (https://kb.juniper.net/JSA69899). The advisory provides detailed patch instructions and version-specific fixes. Applying these updates is the recommended mitigation to remediate the vulnerability.
