No fix has been recorded since the CVE record was published in 2017 — isolate the affected system (restrict network access to it, for example with a firewall, or keep it off the internet) or retire the product.

An insufficient authentication vulnerability on platforms where Junos OS instances are run in a virtualized environment, may allow unprivileged users on the Junos OS instance to gain access to the host operating environment, and thus escalate privileges. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS 14.1X53 prior to 14.1X53-D40 on QFX5110, QFX5200, QFX10002, QFX10008, QFX10016, EX4600 and NFX250; 15.1 prior to 15.1R5 on EX4600; 15.1X49 prior to 15.1X49-D70 on vSRX, SRX1500, SRX4100, SRX4200; 16.1 prior to 16.1R2 on EX4600, ACX5000 series. This issue does not affect vMX. No other Juniper Networks products or platforms are affected by this issue.

Exploitation none (no KEV listing, exploit record or EPSS ≥ 50%) · Automatable unknown (not published for this CVE) · Technical impact partial (CVSS below 9.0). EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from Vulnrichment. EchelonGraph applied CISA's decision table to them; CISA publishes SSVC inputs and the table, not a decision for each CVE.
Action: No fix has been recorded since the CVE record was published in 2017.

EchelonGraph holds no SSVC assessment of this CVE from CISA: none of these inputs is from 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".

Data Freshness Timeline

(refreshed 8× in last 7d / 20× in last 30d)

Each row is a time one of our pipelines fetched, updated or re-scored this CVE. For example, "NVD update" means NVD published or revised its analysis for this CVE; "MITRE cvelistV5" means we ingested or refreshed it from the CNA feed. An arrow marks a change the record states ("CVSS v3 → 9.1"); EPSS and GHSA rows show the values recorded at that time, not what changed (EPSS values are rounded; hover one for the exact figures). Most recent first.

Showing the most recent 84 of 134 refreshes on record for this CVE.

A repeat, a row identical to one the same pipeline wrote less than 10 seconds earlier, is not a separate refresh and is not counted. 16 repeat rows among the latest 100 are merged into the row they repeat. The 50 oldest rows on record are not shown and were not checked, so the counts can still include repeats.
