CVE-2025-59981Network attack vector

Victim-context command execution via reflected script injection

Published Oct 9, 2025 · Updated Oct 9, 2025

Reflected XSS in Juniper Networks Junos Space before 24.1R4 allows remote attackers to run commands with a victim's permissions. The Device Template Definition page accepts attacker-supplied script tags and emits them into generated content without neutralization. No authentication is required to deliver the input, but another user must visit the affected page; an administrator visit exposes administrator-authorized actions.
