MediumCVSS 5.3/10Known exploited (CISA KEV)Last modified Jun 17, 2026

Description

A Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS on EX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause limited impact to the file system integrity.

With a specific request to installAppPackage.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 EX 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
