A vulnerability in Juniper Networks SRX Series device configured as a Junos OS Enforcer device may allow a user to access network resources that are not permitted by a UAC policy. This issue might occur when the IP address range configured in the Infranet Controller (IC) is configured as an IP address range instead of an IP address/netmask. See the Workaround section for more detail. The Junos OS Enforcer CLI settings are disabled by default. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series: 12.3X48 versions prior to 12.3X48-D100; 15.1X49 versions prior to 15.1X49-D210; 17.3 versions prior to 17.3R2-S5, 17.3R3-S8; 17.4 versions prior to 17.4R2-S9, 17.4R3-S1; 18.1 versions prior to 18.1R3-S10; 18.2 versions prior to 18.2R2-S7, 18.2R3-S3; 18.3 versions prior to 18.3R1-S7, 18.3R3-S2; 18.4 versions prior to 18.4R1-S6, 18.4R2-S4, 18.4R3-S1; 19.1 versions prior to 19.1R1-S4, 19.1R2-S1, 19.1R3; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R1-S3, 19.2R2; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R2-S1, 19.3R3; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R1-S1, 19.4R2.

Demo Examples

Improper Authentication

CWE-287

The following code intends to ensure that the user is already logged in. If not, the code performs authentication with the user-provided username and password. If successful, it sets the loggedin and user cookies to "remember" that the user has already logged in. Finally, the code performs administrator tasks if the logged-in user has the "Administrator" username, as recorded in the user cookie.


               
}
}
ExitError("Error: you need to log in first");
);
);
DoAdministratorTasks();

Unfortunately, this code can be bypassed. The attacker can set the cookies independently so that the code does not check the username and password. The attacker could do this with an HTTP request containing headers such as:


               
[body of request]

By setting the loggedin cookie to "true", the attacker bypasses the entire authentication check. By using the "Administrator" value in the user cookie, the attacker also gains privileges to administer the software.
