JSA11070 - 2020-10 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: Reflected Cross-site Scripting
vulnerability in J-Web and web based (HTTP/HTTPS) services (CVE-2020-1673)
PRODUCT AFFECTED:
This issue affects Junos OS 18.1, 18.2, 18.3, 18.4, 19.1, 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 20.1.
PROBLEM:
Insufficient Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) protection in Juniper Networks J-Web and
web based (HTTP/HTTPS) services allows an unauthenticated attacker to hijack the
target user's HTTP/HTTPS session and perform administrative actions on the Junos
device as the targeted user.
This issue only affects Juniper Networks Junos OS devices with HTTP/HTTPS
services enabled such as J-Web, Web Authentication, Dynamic-VPN (DVPN), Firewall
Authentication Pass-Through with Web-Redirect, and Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP).
Junos OS devices with HTTP/HTTPS services disabled are not affected.
If HTTP/HTTPS services are enabled, the following command will show the httpd
processes:
user@device> show system processes | match http
5260 - S 0:00.13 /usr/sbin/httpd-gk -N
5797 - I 0:00.10 /usr/sbin/httpd --config /jail/var/etc/httpd.conf
In order to successfully exploit this vulnerability, the attacker needs to
convince the device administrator to take action such as clicking the crafted
URL sent via phishing email or convince the administrator to input data in the
browser console.
This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS:
18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S1;
18.2 versions prior to 18.2R3-S5;
18.3 versions prior to 18.3R2-S4, 18.3R3-S2;
18.4 versions prior to 18.4R2-S5, 18.4R3-S2;
19.1 versions prior to 19.1R2-S2, 19.1R3-S1;
19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S5, 19.2R2;
19.3 versions prior to 19.3R2-S4, 19.3R3;
19.4 versions prior to 19.4R1-S3, 19.4R2;
20.1 versions prior to 20.1R1-S2, 20.1R2.
