Low risk28th percentile - higher than 28% of all known CVEs
Summary
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.
Risk Assessment
The organization faces risk of unauthorized information access and increased CPU load, potentially degrading device performance.
Recommendation
Immediately upgrade Junos OS Evolved to the versions specified in the CVE description (e.g., 23.2R2-S7-EVO or later).
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-2026-33794Medium
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.
Original NVD description (English source)
An Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a limited information disclosure and availability impact to the device. Due to a wrong initialization, a process which should only be able to communicate internally within the device can be reached over the network via an open port. This leads to a device being inadvertently exposed and increased CPU cycles spent processing ingress packets. This issue affects Junos OS Evolved: * all versions before 23.2R2-S7-EVO, * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8-EVO, * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S5-EVO, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4-EVO, * 25.2 versions before 25.2R2-S1-EVO, * 25.4 versions before 25.4R1-S2-EVO.
