A Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in command processing of Juniper Networks Junos OS allows a privileged local attacker to gain access to Linux-based line cards as root.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
