JUEX-NM-000260 - The Juniper EX switch must be configured to implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.

Warning! Audit Deprecated

This audit has been deprecated and will be removed in a future update.

Information

A replay attack may enable an unauthorized user to gain access to the application. Authentication sessions between the authenticator and the application validating the user credentials must not be vulnerable to a replay attack.

An authentication process resists replay attacks if it is impractical to achieve a successful authentication by recording and replaying a previous authentication message.

Techniques used to address this include protocols using nonces (e.g., numbers generated for a specific one-time use) or challenges (e.g., TLS, WS_Security). Additional techniques include time-synchronous or challenge-response one-time authenticators.

Solution

Configure the network device to implement replay-resistant authentication mechanisms for network access to privileged accounts.

set system services ssh protocol-version v2
