Summary

An improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command ('OS command injection') vulnerability in the phone-home daemon (phcd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved on EX Series, SRX Series, and QFX Series allows an adjacent unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges via a rogue DHCP server.

Risk Assessment

An adjacent-network attacker can gain full root privileges on the device, potentially leading to complete system compromise.

Recommendation

Apply Junos OS/Junos OS Evolved updates; implement protections against rogue DHCP servers (e.g., DHCP snooping) where possible.
