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-2026-101978High
An OS command injection vulnerability in the bootzd zero-touch provisioning daemon of Junos OS Evolved on PTX Series allows an unauthenticated attacker on the management LAN to execute commands as root via a crafted gRPC response.
- CVE-2026-101967High
An OS command injection vulnerability in the bootzd zero-touch provisioning daemon of Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated attacker on the management LAN to execute commands as root via a crafted DHCP response.
- CVE-2026-102085Medium
An improper restriction of communication channel to intended endpoints vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause limited information disclosure and availability impact to the device. Due to wrong initialization, a process that should only communicate internally can be reached over the network via an open port, leading to inadvertent exposure and increased CPU cycles spent processing ingress packets.
- CVE-2026-102068High
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the kernel of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger a kernel panic via a crafted TCP packet when key-chain authentication is used for BGP or LDP.
- CVE-2026-102045Medium
An Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in lacpd of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows a Layer-2-adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted frame received on an LACP-enabled aggregated-Ethernet member port.
- CVE-2026-102023High
A Reachable Assertion vulnerability in fwstatsd of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an authenticated network attacker to cause a denial of service via an SNMP firewall-counter MIB query when at least one firewall counter is configured.
- CVE-2026-102012High
A Reachable Assertion vulnerability in the na-grpcd process of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service via a gRPC telemetry subscription request.
- CVE-2026-101985Medium
An Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved on PTX Series allows an unauthenticated IS-IS peer to cause a denial of service.
- CVE-2026-101966High
A use of externally-controlled format string vulnerability in the jti-dialoutd of Junos OS Evolved allows an authenticated network attacker to cause persistent telemetry dial-out denial of service via a crafted analytics sensor resource submitted through gNMI listener.
- CVE-2026-101965High
A use of externally-controlled format string vulnerability in the gRPC daemon of Junos OS Evolved allows an authenticated network attacker to cause telemetry-service disruption, information disclosure, or potential root-level code execution via a crafted message to the gNMI service.
