- A Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability combined with a Generation of Error Message
Containing Sensitive Information vulnerability in J-Web of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series and EX
Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to access sensitive system information. When a
user logs in, a temporary file which contains the configuration of the device (as visible to that user) is
created in the /cache folder. An unauthenticated attacker can then attempt to access such a file by
sending a specific request to the device trying to guess the name of such a file. Successful exploitation
will reveal configuration information. (CVE-2024-21619)
