common questions

Is CVE-2026-33795 being exploited?

Not confirmed. CVE-2026-33795 does not appear in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which records only exploitation that has been observed and reported publicly. That is evidence of absence of a report, not evidence the flaw is unattacked. EPSS currently estimates a 0.37% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.

How severe is CVE-2026-33795?

CVE-2026-33795 is rated High with a CVSS score of 8.7. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.

Is there a patch for CVE-2026-33795?

Not known from our data. No patch reference has been recorded for CVE-2026-33795, which is not the same as no patch existing — a fix may have shipped without a tagged reference, or after this record was written. The vendor advisory is the only authority on whether a fix exists, and mitigations may be available regardless.

CVE-2026-33795 affects Juniper Junos OS (rpd process), Juniper Junos OS >= 20.4R1, Juniper Junos OS Evolved >= 20.4R1-EVO. Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.

As published in the CVE Program record. A version outside these ranges is not a statement that it is unaffected — vendors sometimes understate a range, and distribution-backported builds carry upstream numbers that do not reflect what was patched into them.
