Readycheck to confirm it

Juniper Web Device Manager (J-Web) in Junos OS contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This can allow an unauthenticated attacker to run malicious scripts reflected off J-Web to the victim's browser in the context of their session within J-Web, which can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. This issue affects all versions prior to 19.1R3-S9; 19.2 versions prior to 19.2R3-S6; 19.3 versions prior to 19.3R3-S7; 19.4 versions prior to 19.4R2-S7, 19.4R3-S8; 20.1 versions prior to 20.1R3-S5; 20.2 versions prior to 20.2R3-S5; 20.3 versions prior to 20.3R3-S5; 20.4 versions prior to 20.4R3-S4; 21.1 versions prior to 21.1R3-S4; 21.2 versions prior to 21.2R3-S1; 21.3 versions prior to 21.3R3; 21.4 versions prior to 21.4R2; 22.1 versions prior to 22.1R2.

Impact
