Elevated risk61th percentile - higher than 61% of all known CVEs
Summary
Multiple instances of an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved could be used to elevate privileges and/or execute unauthorized commands. When an attacker executes crafted CLI commands, the options are processed via a script in some cases. These scripts are not hardened so injected commands might be executed via the shell, which allows an attacker to perform operations, which they should not be able to do according to their assigned permissions. This issue affects Junos OS Evolved: 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2-EVO, 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-EVO. This issue does not affect Junos OS Evolved versions earlier than 24.2R1-EVO.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can escalate privileges and execute unauthorized commands, potentially leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Update Junos OS Evolved to version 24.2R2-S2-EVO or 24.4R2-EVO (or later), which include the fix for this vulnerability.
Other vulnerabilities in Junos OS Evolved
See all- CVE-2026-57029Medium
A missing synchronization vulnerability in the sFlow collector handler of Junos OS Evolved on QFX Series allows an unauthenticated adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS). When the reachability of an sFlow collector changes and the sFlow thread simultaneously accesses next-hop data, the evo-pfemand process crashes, blocking traffic forwarding until automatic restart.
- CVE-2026-57028High
An Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause license exhaustion. Due to incorrect initialization, a process that should only communicate internally can be reached over the network via an open port, leading to unauthorized access to license management.
- CVE-2026-33803Medium
A vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause limited information disclosure and availability impact. Due to incorrect initialization, an internal process is exposed over the network via an open port.
- CVE-2026-33794Medium
A vulnerability in the advanced forwarding toolkit (evo-aftmand) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on PTX Series allows an unauthenticated network-based attacker to generate continuous routing updates, causing the evo-aftmand process on the PFE to crash, leading to a Denial-of-Service (DoS). Successful exploitation depends on a sequence of events outside the attacker's direct control.
- CVE-2026-33788High
Missing authentication for a critical function in FPCs of Junos OS Evolved on PTX series allows a local authenticated attacker with low privileges to gain direct access to FPCs as a high-privileged user, potentially leading to full compromise.
