What is CVE-2023-50974?

In Appwrite CLI prior to version 3.0.0, user login credentials are stored insecurely within the ~/.appwrite/prefs.json file. The file's permissions are set to 0644, allowing any local user on the system to read the sensitive information. This can lead to unauthorized access and potential exploitation of the affected accounts. It is crucial for users to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and ensure their credentials are stored securely.
