{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2022-22248","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":"Junos OS Evolved: Incorrect file permissions can allow low-privileged user to cause another user to execute arbitrary commands","description":"An Incorrect Permission Assignment vulnerability in shell processing of Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows a low-privileged local user to modify the contents of a configuration file which could cause another user to execute arbitrary commands within the context of the follow-on user's session. If the follow-on user is a high-privileged administrator, the attacker could leverage this vulnerability to take complete control of the target system. While this issue is triggered by a user, other than the attacker, accessing the Junos shell, an attacker simply requires Junos CLI access to exploit this vulnerability. This issue affects Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved: 20.4-EVO versions prior to 20.4R3-S1-EVO; All versions of 21.1-EVO; 21.2-EVO versions prior to 21.2R3-EVO; 21.3-EVO versions prior to 21.3R2-EVO. This issue does not affect Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved versions prior to 19.2R1-EVO.","dates":{"published":"2022-10-18T02:46:50.873Z","modified":"2025-05-09T15:13:56.127Z","reserved":null,"kevAdded":[],"kevDue":[]},"cvss":{"headline":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","computed":false,"selection":"backend-summary"},"metrics":[{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"CVE.org","score":7.3,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false},{"version":"3.1","versionLabel":"v3.1","source":"NVD","score":7.3,"severity":"high","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","exploitability":null,"impact":null,"computed":false}]},"epss":{"probability":0.00195,"percentile":0.08738,"severity":"low","asOf":"2026-10-22T00:00:00.000Z","change":{"pp":0.008,"baselineDate":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","baselineScore":0.00187},"history":[{"date":"2026-09-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-11T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-12T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-15T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00195,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00195,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-17T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00195,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-18T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00195,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-19T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00195,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-20T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00195,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-21T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00195,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00195,"percentile":0.08738}],"last30":[{"date":"2026-09-22T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00187,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-23T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-24T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-25T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-26T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-27T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-28T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-29T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-09-30T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-01T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-02T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-04T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-05T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-07T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-08T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-09T00:00:00.000Z","score":0.00189,"percentile":null},{"date":"2026-10-10T00:00:00.000Z","s
