The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific issue: Junos OS Evolved: 24.2R2-S2-EVO, 24.4R2-EVO, 25.2R1-EVO, and all subsequent releases (from the CVE record's solution, Juniper Networks, Inc.) — apply it.
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.
What the EG score is made of (scorer v4.0: the three questions the 0–10 score mixes, published apart · methodology)
The EG score (5.3): severity, escalated by confirmed exploitation. This CVE's 5.3 is its impact severity (EG Severity), not escalated.

SSVC (CISA's decision table, applied by EchelonGraph)Track at low or medium mission impact; Track* at high (mission-essential systems).
The following software releases have been updated to resolve this specific issue: Junos OS Evolved: 24.2R2-S2-EVO, 24.4R2-EVO, 25.2R1-EVO, and all subsequent releases (from the CVE record's solution, Juniper Networks, Inc.). Apply it within your standard update timelines.
Exploitation none (CISA Vulnrichment) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). All three are CISA's SSVC values (Vulnrichment). EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE. Mission impact is CISA's Mission & Well-being decision point, and only you can judge it. CISA's table makes it high when Mission Prevalence is Essential — the vulnerable component "directly provides capabilities that constitute at least one MEF for at least one entity" (MEF: mission essential function) — or when Public Well-Being Impact is Irreversible: "multiple fatalities are likely", the cyber-physical system "is likely lost or destroyed", "extreme or serious externalities" are imposed on other parties, or social systems such as elections or the financial grid "are destabilized and potentially collapse".

The score's inputs: In CISA KEV no (CISA's KEV catalog) · Automatable no (CISA Vulnrichment) · Technical impact total (CISA Vulnrichment). Whether your system is publicly exposed is yours to answer. BOD 26-04 binds US Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies; for anyone else it is CISA's published timeline, a reference rather than an obligation. The directive · how EchelonGraph applies it
