CVE-2025-60009
📋 TL;DR
This Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos Space allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the CLI Configlet page. When an administrator views the compromised page, the attacker can execute commands with the administrator's permissions. All Junos Space versions before 24.1R4 are affected.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
An attacker gains full administrative control over Junos Space, enabling network configuration changes, credential theft, and lateral movement to connected Juniper devices.
Likely Case
Attackers steal administrator session cookies or credentials, then use them to modify network configurations or deploy backdoors.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and access controls, impact is limited to the Junos Space management interface only.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated access to Junos Space and social engineering to lure administrators to view malicious configlets.
