Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-337: Predictable Seed in Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG), where a pseudo-random number generator (prng) is initialized from a predictable seed, such as the process id or system time. In Duplicate Advisory, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

## Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-mh98-763h-m9v4. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ## Original Description 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.
