Advisory

Affected versions of the appwrite (PyPI) and appwrite-cli (npm) packages are vulnerable to Information Disclosure due to hard-coded credential storage with overly permissive file permissions. The login command in the Appwrite CLI stores Appwrite user credentials in the ~/.appwrite/prefs.json file with UNIX file mode 0644, allowing any user on the local system to read sensitive information. An attacker with local access can exploit this by reading the prefs.json file to obtain user credentials, compromising the confidentiality of the Appwrite user account.
