CVE-2025-60007

5.5 MEDIUM

📋 TL;DR

A local attacker with low privileges can cause a denial-of-service on Juniper Junos OS devices by executing a specially crafted 'show chassis' command. This crashes the chassis daemon, forcing reinitialization of all components except the Routing Engine, resulting in temporary service outage. Affects MX, SRX, and EX Series devices running vulnerable Junos OS versions.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Juniper MX Series
  • Juniper SRX Series
  • Juniper EX Series
Versions: All versions before 22.4R3-S8, 23.2 before 23.2R2-S5, 23.4 before 23.4R2-S6, 24.2 before 24.2R2-S2, 24.4 before 24.4R2
Operating Systems: Junos OS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires local CLI access with any privilege level that can execute 'show chassis' command.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete service outage requiring automatic system recovery, disrupting all network services except RE functionality.

🟠

Likely Case

Temporary service disruption during chassis daemon restart and component reinitialization.

🟢

If Mitigated

Minimal impact with proper access controls preventing low-privileged users from executing chassis commands.

🌐 Internet-Facing: LOW - Requires local access to execute command.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal users with CLI access can exploit, but requires specific command execution.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: UNKNOWN
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires authenticated CLI access and knowledge of specific command options.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: 22.4R3-S8, 23.2R2-S5, 23.4R2-S6, 24.2R2-S2, 24.4R2 or later

Vendor Advisory: https://kb.juniper.net/JSA103173

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Download appropriate Junos OS version from Juniper support portal. 2. Install using 'request system software add' command. 3. Reboot device after installation.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Restrict CLI Access

all

Limit access to CLI commands for low-privileged users to prevent execution of 'show chassis' command.

set system login class restricted permissions [configured-restrictions]
set system login user username class restricted

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict role-based access control to prevent low-privileged users from executing chassis commands.
  • Monitor for unusual 'show chassis' command executions and implement alerting.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check Junos OS version with 'show version' and compare against affected versions list.

Check Version:

show version | match Junos

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify installed version is patched using 'show version' and confirm it matches fixed versions.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • chassisd process crashes
  • System log messages indicating chassis daemon restart
  • Unexpected 'show chassis' command executions

Network Indicators:

  • Temporary loss of connectivity to affected device
  • Increased management traffic during recovery

SIEM Query:

source="juniper-firewall" AND ("chassisd" AND (crash OR restart)) OR ("show chassis" AND suspicious_pattern)
