Summary
An Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in J-Web of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX Series and EX Series allows an attacker to construct a URL that when visited by another user enables the attacker to execute commands with the target's permissions, including an administrator.
A specific invocation of the emit_debug_note method in webauth_operation.php will echo back the data it receives.
