Summary

A vulnerability in J-Web of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series involves improper following of a certificate's chain of trust. When an SRX device is provisioned to connect to Security Director (SD) cloud, it does not sufficiently verify the received server certificate, allowing a PITM to intercept communication and access credentials.

Risk Assessment

A PITM attacker could intercept communication between the SRX and SD cloud, gaining access to credentials and other sensitive information and potentially modifying it.

Recommendation

Update Junos OS to a version containing the fix (22.4R3-S9, 23.2R2-S6, 23.4R2-S7, 24.2R2-S3, 24.4R2-S2, 25.2R1-S2 or later). Until patched, consider disabling SD cloud connection or implementing additional certificate verification mechanisms.

Original NVD description (English source)

An Improper Following of a Certificate's Chain of Trust vulnerability in J-Web of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows a PITM to intercept the communication of the device and get access to confidential information and potentially modify it. When an SRX device is provisioned to connect to Security Director (SD) cloud, it doesn't perform sufficient verification of the received server certificate. This allows a PITM to intercept the communication between the SRX and SD cloud and access credentials and other sensitive information. This issue affects Junos OS: * all versions before 22.4R3-S9, * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S6, * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S7, * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S3, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S2, * 25.2 versions before 25.2R1-S2, 25.2R2.
