CVE-2016-1273
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.9)—
Juniper Junos OS before 13.2X51-D40, 14.x before 14.1X53-D30, and 15.x before 15.1X53-D20 on QFX5100 and QFX10002 switches do not have sufficient entropy, which makes it easier for remote attackers to defeat cryptographic encryption and authentication protection mechanisms via unspecified vectors.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
- Base score: 5.9
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.66%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 50
- Score date: 10/8/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
