2021-10 Security Bulletin: Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: Privilege escalation vulnerability in Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET) (CVE-2021-31350)
Article ID : JSA11215
Last Updated: 13 Oct 2021
Version : 1.0
Product Affected:
This issue affects Junos OS 18.4, 19.1, 19.2, 19.3, 19.4, 20.1, 20.2, 20.3,
20.4. This issue affects all versions of Junos OS Evolved.
Problem:
An Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in the gRPC framework, used by
the Juniper Extension Toolkit (JET) API on Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos
OS Evolved, allows a network-based, low-privileged authenticated attacker to
perform operations as root, leading to complete compromise of the targeted
system.
The issue is caused by the JET service daemon (jsd) process authenticating the
user, then passing configuration operations directly to the management daemon
(mgd) process, which runs as root.
This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS:
o 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R1-S8, 18.4R2-S8, 18.4R3-S8;
o 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R2-S3, 19.1R3-S5;
