It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-7751 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Juniper Junos. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-7751/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-7751/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-7751","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-7751/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-7751","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j3m7-mwx3-4r7v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Juniper Junos OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges on Juniper Junos OS devices by exploiting a corrupted pam.conf file that bypasses root password requirements.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"junos","vendor":"juniper"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Juniper Junos OS before 12.1X44-D50, 12.1X46 before 12.1X46-D35, 12.1X47 before 12.1X47-D25, 12.3 before 12.3R9, 12.3X48 before 12.3X48-D15, 13.2 before 13.2R7, 13.2X51 before 13.2X51-D35, 13.3 before 13.3R6, 14.1 before 14.1R5, 14.1X50 before 14.1X50-D105, 14.1X51 before 14.1X51-D70, 14.1X53 before 14.1X53-D25, 14.1X55 before 14.1X55-D20, 14.2 before 14.2R1, 15.1 before 15.1F2 or 15.1R1, and 15.1X49 before 15.1X49-D10 does not require a password for the root user when pam.conf is \"corrupted,\" which allows local users to gain root privileges by modifying the file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7751","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"juniper:junos","products":["juniper:junos"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7752"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7750"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-10-19","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS EX Series and SRX Series PHP External Variable Modification","id":"CVE-2023-36845","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-08-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2020-1631","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2020-05-04"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization","id":"CVE-2025-21590","kev_date_added":"2025-03-13","published":"2025-03-12"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS SRX Series Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2023-36851","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-09-26"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS EX Series PHP External Variable Modification","id":"CVE-2023-36844","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-08-17"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS SRX Series Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2023-36846","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-08-17"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Juniper Junos OS EX Series Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2023-36847","kev_date_added":"2023-11-13","published":"2023-08-17"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges on Juniper Junos OS devices by exploiting a corrupted pam.conf file that bypasses root password requirements.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-7751/"}
