Official Description

An Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the chassis control daemon (chassisd) of Juniper Networks Junos OS on SRX1600, SRX2300 and SRX4300 allows a local attacker with low privileges to cause a complete Denial of Service (DoS).

When a specific 'show chassis' CLI command is executed, chassisd crashes and restarts which causes a momentary impact to all traffic until all modules are online again.

This issue affects Junos OS on SRX1600, SRX2300 and SRX4300:

* 24.4 versions before 24.4R1-S3, 24.4R2.

This issue does not affect Junos OS versions before 24.4R1.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2026-33786 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.

Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.

A successful exploit results in availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 5.5.

A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2026-33786. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
