What is CVE-2025-13193?

A flaw in libvirt allows external inactive snapshots of shut-down virtual machines (VMs) to be created with inappropriate permissions, making them world-readable. This vulnerability enables unprivileged users to potentially inspect sensitive contents of the guest operating system, leading to information disclosure risks. The permissions misconfiguration exposes VM data that should remain confidential, necessitating immediate attention to safeguard against unauthorized access.
