CVE-2017-2343: SRX Series: Hardcoded credentials in Integrated UserFW feature.

The Integrated User Firewall (UserFW) feature was introduced in Junos OS version 12.1X47-D10 on the Juniper SRX Series devices to provide simple integration of user profiles on top of the existing firewall polices. As part of an internal security review of the UserFW services authentication API, hardcoded credentials were identified and removed which can impact both the SRX Series device, and potentially LDAP and Active Directory integrated points. An attacker may be able to completely compromise SRX Series devices, as well as Active Directory servers and services. When Active Directory is compromised, it may allow access to user credentials, workstations, servers performing other functions such as email, database, etc. Inter-Forest Active Directory deployments may also be at risk as the attacker may gain full administrative control over one or more Active Directories depending on the credentials supplied by the administrator of the AD domains and SRX devices performing integrated authentication of users, groups and devices. To identify if your device is potentially vulnerable to exploitation, check to see if the service is operating; from CLI review the following output: root@SRX-Firewall# run show services user-identification active-directory-access domain-controller status extensive A result of "Status: Connected" will indicate that the service is active on the device. To evaluate if user authentication is occurring through the device: root@SRX-Firewall# run show services user-identification active-directory-access active-directory-authentication-table all Next review the results to see if valid users and groups are returned. e.g. Domain: juniperlab.com Total entries: 3 Source IP Username groups state 172.16.26.1 administrator Valid 192.168.26.2 engg01 engineers Valid 192.168.26.3 guest01 guests Valid Domain: NULL Total entries: 8 Source IP Username groups state 192.168.26.4 Invalid 192.168.26.5 Invalid This will also indicate that Valid users and groups are authenticating through the device. Affected releases are Juniper Networks Junos OS 12.3X48 from 12.3X48-D30 and prior to 12.3X48-D35 on SRX series; 15.1X49 from 15.1X49-D40 and prior to 15.1X49-D50 on SRX series. Devices on any version of Junos OS 12.1X46, or 12.1X47 are unaffected by this issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a critical Juniper SRX firewall issue involving hardcoded credentials in the Integrated User Firewall feature. If the vulnerable UserFW Active Directory integration is active, an unauthenticated network attacker may fully compromise the SRX device and potentially connected Active Directory services. Exposure is most likely on SRX Series devices running affected Junos OS releases with Integrated UserFW Active Directory access connected and actively authenticating users or groups. Junos OS 12.1X46 and 12.1X47 are stated as unaffected in the source bundle. Treat this as urgent for any affected SRX device connected to Active Directory. The business risk extends beyond the firewall because AD compromise can expose credentials, workstations, servers, email, and databases. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected SRX devices to Junos OS 12.3X48-D35, 15.1X49-D50, or later vendor-supported guidance.; Prioritize devices with UserFW Active Directory access connected and authenticating users or groups.; Review Juniper advisory JSA10791 before changing UserFW or Active Directory integration..
