CVE-2026-57028
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
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 license exhaustion. Due to an incorrect 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 unauthorized access to the license management. This issue affects all Junos OS Evolved versions before 23.2R2-EVO.

"value": "Una vulnerabilidad de restricción inadecuada del canal de comunicación a los puntos finales previstos en Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved permite a un atacante no autenticado y basado en la red causar el agotamiento de licencias.\n\nDebido a una inicialización incorrecta, un proceso que solo debería poder comunicarse internamente dentro del dispositivo, puede ser alcanzado a través de la red mediante un puerto abierto. Esto conduce a acceso no autorizado a la gestión de licencias.\n\nEste problema afecta a todas las versiones de Junos OS Evolved anteriores a 23.2R2-EVO."
