There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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
