CVE-2025-60011: Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: Optional transitive BGP attribute is modified before propagation to peers causing sessions to flap

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 27/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.46% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: Juniper Networks Junos OS 22.4R3-S8, 23.2R2-S5, 23.4R2-S6; Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved 22.4R3-S8-EVO, 23.2R2-S5-EVO, 23.4R2-S6-EVO.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Juniper Networks Junos OS 22.4R3-S8, 23.2R2-S5, 23.4R2-S6; Juniper Networks Junos OS Evolved 22.4R3-S8-EVO, 23.2R2-S5-EVO, 23.4R2-S6-EVO or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, network-based attacker to cause an availability impact for downstream devices. When an affected device receives a specific optional, transitive BGP attribute over an existing BGP session, it will be erroneously modified before propagation to peers. When the attribute is detected as malformed by the peers, these peers will most likely terminate the BGP sessions with the affected devices and thereby cause an availability impact due to the resulting routing churn. This issue affects: Junos OS: * all versions before 22.4R3-S8, * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5 * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6, * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2; Junos OS Evolved:  * all versions before 22.4R3-S8-EVO, * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S5-EVO, * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6-EVO, * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S2-EVO, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-EVO.
