Junos OS
Summary
A password aging vulnerability in the RADIUS client of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an authenticated, network-based attacker to access the device without enforcing the required password change. Affected devices permit logins by users whose passwords have expired, bypassing the policy that mandates a password change. This issue does not allow logins with incorrect passwords, only with the correct but expired ones.
Details
| Severity | Base Score | CVE |
|---|---|---|
| MEDIUM | 5.3 | CVE-2025-60010 |
Exploitation
To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must be authenticated and have network access to the affected device. By leveraging the RADIUS client, the attacker can log in using an expired password, as the system fails to enforce the password change policy. This allows unauthorized access to the device, potentially leading to further exploitation.

Mitigation
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to upgrade to the latest versions of Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved that are not affected by this issue. Additionally, enforcing strict password policies and regularly monitoring user access can help prevent unauthorized logins.
