Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-1261 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-2016-1261/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1261/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1261","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1261/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1261","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8rqf-6vv7-xmxj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Junos OS J-Web","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit J-Web input validation flaws to perform cross-site request forgery or cause denial of service on Juniper network devices.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"juniper","cpe":[{"product":"junos","vendor":"juniper"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"J-Web does not validate certain input that may lead to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) issues or cause a denial of J-Web service (DoS).","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":"Junos: vulnerabilities in J-Web (CVE-2016-1261)","id":"CVE-2016-1261","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"juniper:junos","products":["juniper:junos"],"type":"csrf","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1262"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1260"},"products":["Junos OS"],"published":"2017-10-13","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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Juniper Networks"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit J-Web input validation flaws to perform cross-site request forgery or cause denial of service on Juniper network devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1261/"}
