"The version of Junos OS installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JSA112180
advisory.

  - An OS command injection vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows a local, low
    privileged attacker to take complete control of the device. A specific 'request csds' command doesn't
    sanitize user provided input so that it can be interpreted as a command. This allows unintended command
    execution with root privileges, which can lead to unauthorized system access or modification. This issue
    affects Junos OS: * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4; * 25.2 versions before 25.2R2-S1; * 25.4 versions
    before 25.4R1-S3; This issue does not affect Junos OS releases before 24.4R1. (CVE-2026-102079)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
