Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.105913
Category:JunOS Local Security Checks
Title:Juniper Networks Junos OS Exclusive Edit Mode Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Summary:Privilege Escalation in exclusive edit mode
Description:Summary:
Privilege Escalation in exclusive edit mode

Vulnerability Insight:
An escalation of privileges can occur when the 'load factory-default'
command fails while in exclusive edit mode. When the load command fails, the user is no longer subject
to any command and/or configuration restrictions. The escalation is limited to authenticated users with
the ability to edit the configuration in the first place. The privilege bypass is specific to configured
classes of CLI users with restrictions such as 'allow-commands', 'deny-commands', and 'deny-configuration'.

Vulnerability Impact:
Authenticated users with the ability to edit the configuration can
bypass CLI restrictions.

Affected Software/OS:
Junos OS 10.0, 10.4, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4 and 12.1.

Solution:
New builds of Junos OS software are available from Juniper. As a
workaround deny access to the 'load factory-default' command.

CVSS Score:
6.3

CVSS Vector:
AV:L/AC:M/Au:M/C:C/I:C/A:C
