HIGHVulnerable juju introspection abstract UNIX domain socket
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description
Impact
An abstract UNIX domain socket responsible for introspection is available without authentication locally to any user with access to the network namespace where the local juju agent is running.
On a juju controller agent, denial of service can be performed by using the /leases/revoke endpoint. Revoking leases in juju can cause availability issues.
On a juju machine agent that is hosting units, disabling the unit component can be performed using the /units endpoint with a "stop" action.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for github.com/juju/juju. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update github.com/juju/juju to 0.0.0-20240829052008-43f0fc59790d or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-xwgj-vpm9-q2rq is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-xwgj-vpm9-q2rq is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-xwgj-vpm9-q2rq. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-xwgj-vpm9-q2rq in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-xwgj-vpm9-q2rq across Go dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
