CVE-2023-36851Juniper Junos — file upload with no login required

One page in the web management interface of Juniper's firewalls (SRX Series) accepts file uploads and downloads without asking who is calling. Alone it only dents file system integrity; chained with a second flaw it is the first step.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Upgrade Junos to a fixed release for your branch, and keep the web management interface off untrusted networks — this is a chain link, not a standalone break-in.
