Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Junos OS on SRX series devices does not verify the HTTPS server certificate before downloading anti-virus updates. This may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to inject bogus signatures to cause service disruptions or make the device not detect certain types of attacks.

Risk Assessment

The lack of certificate verification can lead to serious security threats, including the introduction of malware or failure to protect against attacks. Organizations may face financial and reputational losses.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the Junos OS to a version that includes security patches to ensure HTTPS certificate verification. Additional security measures, such as monitoring network traffic, should also be considered.
