2022-01 Security Bulletin: Junos OS: Certificate validation is skipped when fetching system scripts from a HTTPS URL (CVE-2022-22156)
Article ID : JSA11264
Last Updated: 12 Jan 2022
Version : 1.0
Product Affected:
This issue affects Junos OS all versions prior to 18.4R2-S9, 19.1, 19.2, 19.3,
19.4, 20.1, 20.2, 20.3, 20.4, 21.1.
Problem:
An Improper Certificate Validation weakness in the Juniper Networks Junos OS
allows an attacker to perform Person-in-the-Middle (PitM) attacks when a system
script is fetched from a remote source at a specified HTTPS URL, which may
compromise the integrity and confidentiality of the device.
The following command can be executed by an administrator via the CLI to
refresh a script from a remote location, which is affected from this
vulnerability:
>request system scripts refresh-from (commit | event | extension-service | op |
snmp) file filename url <https-url>
This issue affects:
Juniper Networks Junos OS
o All versions prior to 18.4R2-S9, 18.4R3-S9;
o 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R2-S3, 19.1R3-S7;
o 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S7, 19.2R3-S3;
o 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R3-S4;
o 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R3-S7;
o 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R2-S2, 20.1R3;
o 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R3;
o 20.3 versions prior to 20.3R2-S1, 20.3R3;
o 20.4 versions prior to 20.4R2;
o 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R1-S1, 21.1R2.
The examples of the config stanza affected by this issue:
[event-options event-script file <file-name> source <https-url> refresh]
[system scripts (commit | event | extension-service | op | snmp) file filename
refresh-from <https-url>]
Please note that issuing set refresh-from command does not add the refresh-from
statement to the configuration but the command behaves like an operational mode
command by executing an operation.
Juniper SIRT is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability.
