Juniper Networks DX Web Administration Persistent System Log XSS
------------------------------------------------------------------------


SUMMARY

"The <http://www.juniper.net/products/appaccel/dca/dx.html> Juniper
Networks DX application acceleration platform delivers a complete data
center acceleration solution for web-enabled and IP-based business
applications."

Improper handling of user input allows attackers to execute XSS attacks
and steal cookies from authenticated users.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* Juniper DX version 5.1

The Juniper Networks DX System log is vulnerable to a persistent,
unauthenticated XSS attack. This vulnerability can be exploited by an
attacker to obtain full administrative access to the Juniper DX appliance.

This vulnerability stems from failure to sanitize System log content
within the web administration interface. A malicious user may insert
content into the username login field which will then be executed by
administrative users when viewing the System Log.

Workaround:
Control network access to the DX web administration console.
