CVE-2025-13193: Libvirt: information disclosure via world-readable vm snapshots
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 22/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.12% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt libvirt 11.10.0; azl3 libvirt 10.0.0-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 10.0.0-6; azl3 libvirt 10.0.0-6 on Azure Linux 3.0 10.0.0-6.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt libvirt 11.10.0; azl3 libvirt 10.0.0-5 on Azure Linux 3.0 10.0.0-6; azl3 libvirt 10.0.0-6 on Azure Linux 3.0 10.0.0-6 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
A flaw was found in libvirt. External inactive snapshots for shut-down VMs are incorrectly created as world-readable, making it possible for unprivileged users to inspect the guest OS contents. This results in an information disclosure vulnerability.

Timeline
From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.
No dated events beyond publication.
No history yet (it accumulates with the daily EPSS job).
Patch and commit links

Variant candidates
Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.
No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
