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-2021-31360 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-2021-31360/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31360/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-31360","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31360/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-31360","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j6cc-h7v7-4cvc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Juniper Junos OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A low-privileged user can overwrite local files as root via the CLI, potentially causing system integrity issues or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"juniper","cpe":[{"product":"junos","vendor":"juniper"},{"product":"junos_os_evolved","vendor":"juniper"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"An improper privilege management vulnerability in the Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved command-line interpreter (CLI) allows a low-privileged user to overwrite local files as root, possibly leading to a system integrity issue or Denial of Service (DoS).
