Vulnerability found:

Vendor informed:

Severity level:

Medium

Description:

There is a Cross-site Scripting vulnerability on Junipers, JUNOS web interface. JwWeb provides a webinterface which allows JUNOS to be controlled by a webinterface.
Procheckup has found by making a malformed authenticated request to the JWeb interface, that vanilla cross site scripting (XSS) attacks are possible.

Consequences

An attacker may be able to cause execution of malicious scripting code in the browser of a user who clicks on a link or visits a malicious webpage. The malicious code would run in the security context of the vulnerable website.

This type of attack can result in non-persistent defacement of the target site, or the redirection of confidential information (i.e.: passwords or session IDs) to unauthorised third parties.
