CVE-2026-93336 · Severity: info · Published 2026-10-22

Canonical Juju is an orchestration engine for deploying and managing applications across cloud and on-premises infrastructure. A missing authorization check in the unit resources download endpoint allows any authenticated user or unit agent to read any application's charm resources from any model, including sensitive container-registry credentials, by requesting them with a crafted URL.

## How to fix

- Fixed in 4.0.16 and later

Restrict controller access to trusted principals only, and avoid storing sensitive credentials such as container-registry secrets in charm resources until upgrading.

## Technical details

The GET /model/:modeluuid/units/:unit/resources/:resource endpoint was registered with a TODOAuthorizer and dropped authorization context tags during a 4.0 rewrite, allowing unauthenticated resource access. Any controller-authenticated principal—including a user with only login permission or a unit agent from another application—can bypass the check and stream arbitrary charm resources. The fix restricts the route to unit and application agents, requiring the authenticated tag to match the requested unit.

## Affected products

- Canonical Juju 4.0 through 4.0.15
