Summary
The Juniper Networks Session Smart Router product is affected, allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to gain administrative control of the device by sending specially crafted URL parameters to an insecure internal endpoint that runs with root privileges. This can only be exploited before the router is onboarded to Mist/Conductor, after which the issue is no longer exploitable.
