Read the original description
A Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause limited impact to the file system integrity. With a specific request to user.php that doesn't require authentication an attacker is able to upload arbitrary files via J-Web, leading to a loss of integrity for a certain part of the file system, which may allow chaining to other vulnerabilities. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series: • All versions prior to 20.4R3-S8; • 21.1 versions 21.1R1 and later; • 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S6; • 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R3-S5; • 21.4 versions prior to 21.4R3-S5; • 22.1 versions prior to 22.1R3-S3; • 22.2 versions prior to 22.2R3-S2; • 22.3 versions prior to 22.3R2-S2, 22.3R3; • 22.4 versions prior to 22.4R2-S1, 22.4R3.
