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-2023-44182 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-2023-44182/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-44182/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-44182","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-44182/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-44182","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rcf7-xjfr-3cgc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Juniper Junos OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit unchecked return values in Junos OS interfaces to escalate privileges or access restricted files and operations.","user_interaction":"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":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-252","name":"Unchecked Return Value"}],"description":"An Unchecked Return Value vulnerability in the user interfaces to the Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved, the CLI, the XML API, the XML Management Protocol, the NETCONF Management Protocol, the gNMI interfaces, and the J-Web User Interfaces causes unintended effects such as demotion or elevation of privileges associated with an operators actions to occur.\n\nMultiple scenarios may occur;
