DescriptionCVE.org

Uploading a malicious charm that exploits a Zip Slip vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain access to a machine running a unit through the affected charm.

Analysis

The /charms endpoint on a Juju controller lacked sufficient authorization checks, allowing any user with an account on the controller to upload a charm. Uploading a malicious charm that exploits a Zip Slip vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain access to a machine running a unit through the affected charm.

Technical ContextAI

Unrestricted file upload allows attackers to upload malicious files (web shells, executables) that can then be executed on the server.

RemediationAI

Validate file types by content (magic bytes), not just extension. Store uploads outside the web root. Use random filenames. Scan uploads for malware.
