AI-suggested

European organizations should immediately identify and inventory all Juniper Networks devices running affected Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved versions. They must prioritize applying the vendor-released patches starting from versions 22.4R3-S8 and later as specified. Until patches are applied, organizations should enforce compensating controls such as restricting RADIUS authentication to trusted networks, implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA) for device access, and monitoring authentication logs for anomalous login patterns involving expired credentials. Network segmentation should limit access to management interfaces. Additionally, reviewing and tightening password policies on RADIUS servers and ensuring they are synchronized with device configurations can reduce risk. Regular audits of user accounts and forced password resets can help mitigate the impact. Finally, organizations should update incident response plans to detect and respond to potential misuse of expired credentials.

Description

A password aging vulnerability in the RADIUS client of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an authenticated, network-based attacker to access the device without enforcing the required password change. Affected devices allow logins by users for whom the RADIUS server has responded with a reject and required the user to change the password as their password was expired. Therefore the policy mandating the password change is not enforced. This does not allow users to login with a wrong password, but only with the correct but expired one. This issue affects: Junos OS:  * all versions before 22.4R3-S8, * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S4, * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S5, * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S1, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R1-S3, 24.4R2; Junos OS Evolved: * all versions before 22.4R3-S8-EVO, * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S4-EVO, * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S5-EVO, * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S1-EVO, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R1-S3-EVO, 24.4R2-EVO.
