It's contents will be added to the Junos configuration of the device without being visible. This allows for the addition of any configuration unknown \n\nto the actual operator,\u00a0which includes users, IP addresses and other configuration which could allow unauthorized access to the device.\nThis exploit is persistent across reboots and even zeroization.\n\nThe indicator of compromise is a modified /etc/config/<platform>-defaults[-flex].conf file. Review that file for unexpected configuration statements, or compare it to an unmodified version which can be\u00a0extracted from the original Juniper software image file. For details on the extraction procedure please contact Juniper Technical Assistance Center (JTAC).\n\nTo restore the device to a trusted initial configuration the system needs to be reinstalled from physical media.\u00a0\n\nThis issue affects Junos OS on EX4600 Series and QFX5000 Series:\n\n\n\n * All versions before 21.4R3,\n * 22.2 versions before 22.2R3-S3."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "Una vulnerabilidad de error de validaci\u00f3n de origen en un archivo insuficientemente protegido de Juniper Networks Junos OS en las series EX4600 y QFX5000 permite a un atacante no autenticado con acceso f\u00edsico al dispositivo crear una puerta trasera que permite el control completo del sistema.\n\nCuando un dispositivo no est\u00e1 configurado con una contrase\u00f1a de root, un atacante puede modificar un archivo espec\u00edfico. Sus contenidos ser\u00e1n a\u00f1adidos a la configuraci\u00f3n de Junos del dispositivo sin ser visibles. Esto permite la adici\u00f3n de cualquier configuraci\u00f3n desconocida para el operador real, lo que incluye usuarios, direcciones IP y otra configuraci\u00f3n que podr\u00eda permitir el acceso no autorizado al dispositivo.\nEste exploit es persistente a trav\u00e9s de los reinicios e incluso la puesta a cero.\n\nEl indicador de compromiso es un archivo /etc/config/<platform>-defaults[-flex].conf modificado. Revise ese archivo en busca de declaraciones de configuraci\u00f3n inesperadas, o comp\u00e1relo con una versi\u00f3n sin modificar que se puede extraer del archivo de imagen de software original de Juniper.
