CVE-2024-7558: Canonical Juju

High severity, CVSS 8.0. EPSS: 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

JUJU_CONTEXT_ID is a predictable authentication secret. On a Juju machine (non-Kubernetes) or Juju charm container (on Kubernetes), an unprivileged user in the same network namespace can connect to an abstract domain socket and guess the JUJU_CONTEXT_ID value. This gives the unprivileged user access to the same information and tools as the Juju charm.

Affected products
