Summary

Juju has unauthorized update of out-of-scope Vault secrets

Details

An authorization bypass vulnerability in the Vault secrets back-end implementation of Juju versions 3.1.6 through 3.6.18 allows an authenticated unit agent to perform unauthorized updates to secret revisions. With sufficient information, an attacker can poison any existing secret revision within the scope of that Vault secret back-end.

Impact

An authenticated unit agent can update any secret revision of a Vault back-end that the unit's model uses. With sufficient information, an attacker can poison any existing secret revision within the scope of that Vault secret back-end.
