CVE-2022-22189

Local privilege escalation to system control

Published Apr 14, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Incorrect ownership assignment in Juniper Networks Contrail Service Orchestration 6.0.0 before Patch v3 allows local users to gain system control. Juniper identifies an alternate authentication path and incorrect ownership assignment but has not disclosed the affected component or ownership operation. Exploitation requires an authenticated local account and user interaction, and successful abuse elevates permissions over the on-premises system.
