Also identified are five other issues, which are listed as follow - CVE-2022-22242  (CVSS score: 6.1) - A pre-authenticated reflected  XSS  on the error page ("error.php"), allowing a remote adversary to siphon Junos OS admin session and chained with other flaws that require authentication. CVE-2022-22243  (CVSS score: 4.3) &  CVE-2022-22
