CVE-2013-7458
CWE-200Published: August 10, 2016· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
3.3
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
linenoise, as used in Redis before 3.2.3, uses world-readable permissions for .rediscli_history, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the file.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2013-7458 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-200): Information exposure vulnerabilities leak sensitive data to unauthorized actors.
