AI-suggested
To mitigate CVE-2025-60006, organizations should immediately identify all Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved devices running affected versions (24.2 prior to 24.2R2-S2-EVO and 24.4 prior to 24.4R2-EVO). The primary remediation is to upgrade these devices to the fixed versions 24.2R2-S2-EVO or later and 24.4R2-EVO or later, as applicable. Until patches are applied, restrict local CLI access to trusted administrators only and enforce strict access controls and monitoring on management interfaces. Implement multi-factor authentication and session logging to detect suspicious command execution attempts. Network segmentation should isolate management networks to reduce the risk of unauthorized local access. Additionally, review and harden CLI command processing scripts if customization is possible, ensuring proper input validation and sanitization of special characters. Regularly audit device configurations and logs for anomalous activity indicative of exploitation attempts. Engage with Juniper Networks support for any interim mitigation guidance and monitor for updates or advisories related to this vulnerability.
Description
Multiple instances of an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved could be used to elevate privileges and/or execute unauthorized commands. When an attacker executes crafted CLI commands, the options are processed via a script in some cases. These scripts are not hardened so injected commands might be executed via the shell, which allows an attacker to perform operations, which they should not be able to do according to their assigned permissions. This issue affects Junos OS Evolved: * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2-EVO, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-EVO. This issue does not affect Junos OS Evolved versions earlier than 24.2R1-EVO.
