A UI Discrepancy for Security Feature
vulnerability in the UI of Juniper Networks Junos OS on VM Host systems allows a network-based, unauthenticated attacker to access the device.

This issue affects Junos OS:
* all versions before 22.2R3-S7,
* 22.4 versions before 22.4R3-S5,
* 23.2 versions before 23.2R2-S3,
* 23.4 versions before 23.4R2-S3,
* 24.2 versions before 24.2R1-S2, 24.2R2.
