Case Study: CWE-262 – Not Using Password Aging

This case study examines CWE-262, where Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved fail to enforce password expiration when using RADIUS authentication. Users with expired passwords can still log in, bypassing credential-aging policies and increasing the risk of persistent unauthorized access. The case study analyzes CVE-2025-60010, explains the authentication flaw, its impact, and real-world implications, and maps it to CWE-262.

Mitigation: apply vendor patches, enforce password rotation, enable multi-factor authentication, and monitor stale credentials.
Prevention: validate external authentication signals, enforce password-aging rules, and adopt secure defaults aligned with modern standards.

Automated Analysis Results of This Use Case

Thank you for providing your use case! Apologies for the form letter, but it's a pleasure to see y'all :)

With technical knowledge work such as this project, it is important to structure information as well as possible, so that it can be processed automatically.

We also want to validate our inputs ;-)

So, this report contains the results of an automated analysis of the provided use case, looking for consistency with the documented format as covered in Section 3 "Case Study Structure" of the Style Guide.

Disclaimers:

• David Wheeler may provide guidance on how to handle these reports. We're grateful that you've put in this work already, and we don't want to burden you unnecessarily 'cuz you're probably busy :)
• Our style guide was not always 100% clear (as often happens early in technical knowledge work), so this analysis attempts to automatically resolve potential inconsistencies.
• This report is provided as a convenience. There may be some errors or omissions in this report.
• We will conduct deeper analysis at a later time.

Items are prioritized from Informative, Low, Medium, to High in terms of current importance to the project.
