CVE-2025-52987Network attack vector

User-action hijacking via missing frame protections

Published Jan 15, 2026 · Updated Jan 15, 2026

Clickjacking in the Juniper Networks Paragon Automation web portal before 24.1.1 allows remote attackers to hijack user interface actions. The portal returns pages without appropriate X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type headers, allowing an attacker-controlled site to frame and disguise the interface. Exploitation requires user interaction with the framed portal and can cause unintended portal actions under the user's authority without interrupting service.
