CVE-2026-33776 — Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: Specific low privileged CLI command exposes sensitive information

A Missing Authorization vulnerability in the CLI of Juniper Networks Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved allows a local user with low privileges to read sensitive information. A local user with low privileges can execute the CLI command 'show mgd' with specific arguments which will expose sensitive information. This issue affects Junos OS: * all versions before 22.4R3-S8, * 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S6, * 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S6, * 24.2 versions before 24.2R2-S4, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S1, * 25.2 version before 25.2R1-S2, 25.2R2; Junos OS Evolved: * all versions before 23.2R2-S6-EVO, * 23.4 version before 23.4R2-S6-EVO, * 24.2 version before 24.2R2-S4-EVO, * 24.4 versions before 24.4R2-S1-EVO, * 25.2 versions before 25.2R2-EVO.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

EPSS 0.1% (30-day exploitation probability)+0
Technical severity (medium)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Exploitation

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Juniper Networks Junos, Juniper Networks Junos OS, Juniper Networks Junos Os Evolved).
Apply the documented mitigations until a definitive fix is available.
Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (access control), errors and authentication anomalies.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2026-33776 is "Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved: Specific low privileged CLI command exposes sensitive information", rated Medium. It affects Junos (Juniper Networks); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 5.5 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.13% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
