CVE-2025-21592

Sensitive-file disclosure via under-authorized CLI commands

Published Jan 9, 2025 · Updated Jan 9, 2025

Information disclosure in Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series allows local users with low-privilege CLI access to read sensitive files. The show services advanced-anti-malware and show services security-intelligence commands return protected file contents without enforcing the caller's login-class restrictions. A low-privilege Junos CLI account is required, and successful use exposes sensitive filesystem data that can support further compromise.
