Most electrical code prohibits a junction box inside a wall.
I'd see if you can find the source for the wire and pull a new one. If you home is on a basement and the wire on an inside wall with a source through a switch, it wouldn't be hard to replace the wire.

I think it has something to do with a wire nut causing heat and the fact that if the wire nut came loose, it wouldn't be serviceable and could short out causing a fire.
