Summary
Canonical Juju 4.0 from 4.0 before 4.0.16 is affected. The unit resources download route does not check authorization. A controller-authenticated principal, such as a unit agent or a user with only login permission, can read any application's charm resource in any model, including container-registry credentials, by sending a crafted request that names an arbitrary unit. This is CWE-862.
