The version of Junos OS installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the JSA73158 advisory.

  • An Incorrect Default Permissions vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS allows an unauthenticated attacker with local access to the device to create a backdoor with root privileges. The issue is caused by improper directory permissions on a certain system directory, allowing an attacker with access to this directory to create a backdoor with root privileges. (CVE-2023-44194)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
