A Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause limited impact to the file system integrity.
With a specific request to
webauth_operation.php
that doesn't require authentication, an attacker is able to upload and download arbitrary files via J-Web, leading to a loss of
integrity or confidentiality, which may allow chaining to other vulnerabilities.

*
21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S8;
* 21.4
versions prior to
21.4R3-S6;
