## What is CVE-2026-102087?

CVE-2026-102087 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS, published on 14 Oct 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

An Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs vulnerability in the routing protocol daemon (rpd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS).

When in a BGP traffic engineering scenario a specific, valid, optional, non-transitive BGP update is received over an established BGP session, RPD crashes and automatically restarts, which leads to traffic impact until routing has reconverged.

This issue affects:
Junos OS:

  *  All versions before 23.2R2-S6;
  *  23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S7;
  *  24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S4;
  *  24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S4;
  *  25.2 versions before 25.2R1-S2, 25.2R2;

Junos OS Evolved:
  *  All versions before 23.2R2-S6-EVO;
  *  23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S8.11-EVO;
  *  24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S4-EVO;
  *  24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S5-EVO;
  *  25.2 versions before 25.2R1-S2-EVO, 25.2R2-EVO;

Weakness: CWE-184 (Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-102087 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-102087 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in Juniper Networks Junos OS, published on 14 Oct 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-102087 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Juniper Networks Junos OS. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
