CVE-2021-0204
Last modified
CVE-2021-0204 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. A sensitive information disclosure vulnerability in delta-export configuration utility (dexp) of Juniper Networks Junos OS may allow a locally authenticated shell user the ability to create and read database files generated by the dexp utility, including password hashes of local users. Since dexp is shipped with setuid permissions enabled and is owned by the root user, this vulnerability may allow a local privileged user the ability to run dexp with root privileges and access sensitive information in the dexp database. EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
