{"schemaVersion":3,"id":"CVE-2026-102085","aliases":[],"status":"published","duplicateOf":null,"title":null,"description":"An Improper Restriction of Communication Channel to Intended Endpoints vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause a limited information disclosure and availability impact to the device.\n\nDue to a wrong initialization, a process which should only be able to communicate internally within the device can be reached over the network via an open port. This leads to a device being inadvertently exposed and increased CPU cycles spent processing ingress packets.\nThis issue affects Junos OS Evolved:\n\n\n  *  All versions before 23.2R2-S7.7-EVO;\n  *  23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8.11-EVO;\n  *  24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S5.6-EVO;\n  *  24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4-EVO;\n  *  25.2 version before 25.2R2-S1-EVO;\n  *  25.4 versions before 25.4R1-S1-EVO.\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that this issue is similar to but not identical
