JUJU_CONTEXT_ID is a predictable authentication secret. On a Juju machine (non-Kubernetes) or Juju charm container (on Kubernetes), an unprivileged user in the same network namespace can connect to an abstract domain socket and guess the JUJU_CONTEXT_ID value. This gives the unprivileged user access to the same information and tools as the Juju charm.
A Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG) is initialized from a predictable seed, such as the process ID or system time.
The product uses insufficiently random numbers or values in a security context that depends on unpredictable numbers.
