Juju CloudSpec API could leak senstive information
Collected exploitation and prediction evidence
Risk source coverageCISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.
No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.
cve-program · CVE-2026-5412
PublishedIn Juju versions prior to 2.9.57 and 3.6.21, an authorization issue exists in the Controller facade. An authenticated user can call the CloudSpec API method to extract the cloud credentials used to bootstrap the controller. This allows a low-privileged user to access sensitive credentials. This issue is resolved in Juju versions 2.9.57 and 3.6.21.

Published### Impact If a user has login permission to a controller and knows the controller model UUID, they can call the CloudSpec method on the Controller facade and get cloud credentials used to bootstrap the controller. The CloudSpec API is called by workers running in the controller to maintain connection to the cloud - this aspect is not the issue. The API is also called by the CLI when killing (force destroying a controller with `juju kill-controller`). This is the problematic aspect. The API is exposed to any client caller where that client has nothing more than logon permission on the controller. What should happen is that getting access to the credential should be limited to those client connections where the authenticated user has superuser or model admin permission. This affect 2.9, 3.6, 4.0.6 (snap from 4.0/edge channel). The fix will allow non-confidential, public information like cloud endpoint etc to be read, but only controller superusers or model admins will be able to see the credential details. ### Patches No patch exists. ### Workarounds The only mitigation is to restrict ingress to the controller API port 17070 on all controller machines (for vm deployments) or the controller service (for k8s deployments). The Juju CLI and other clients like libjuju or JAAS require ingress to port 17070 so any restricted access will need to take into account those access requirements.
