CVE-2025-59792
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedReveals plaintext credentials in the MONITOR command vulnerability in Apache Kvrocks. This issue affects Apache Kvrocks: from 1.0.0 through 2.13.0. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.14.0, which fixes the issue.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe MONITOR command in Apache Kvrocks, which echoes commands being executed for debugging purposes, inadvertently reveals plaintext credentials. This is an information disclosure vulnerability where sensitive authentication data is exposed in the command output, affecting versions 1.0.0 through 2.13.0.
Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Apache Kvrocks is runningCheck running processes for 'kvrocks' binary or check if ports 6666 or 6667 are listening (default Kvrocks ports). Example: `ps aux | grep kvrocks` or `netstat -tlnp | grep -E '666[67]'`Affected if Kvrocks process is found running on the system
-
Determine the installed Kvrocks versionRun `kvrocks --version` or check the binary version. If kvrocks CLI is not available, check the installed package version via system package manager (e.g., `dpkg -l | grep kvrocks` or `rpm -qa | grep kvrocks`)Affected if The version is 1.0.0 through 2.13.0 (versions prior to 2.14.0)
-
Verify if authentication is configuredInspect the Kvrocks configuration file (typically kvrocks.conf) for 'requirepass' or 'user' directives with passwords. Example: `grep -E 'requirepass|password' /path/to/kvrocks.conf`Affected if A requirepass or password-based authentication is configured in the config file
-
Confirm MONITOR command is accessibleConnect to Kvrocks (e.g., via redis-cli to port 6666) and verify MONITOR command can be executed. This may require authentication first if requirepass is set. Run `redis-cli -p 6666 MONITOR` after authenticating if needed, then check if commands are being echoedAffected if MONITOR command executes and returns command output without errors
You are affected if Kvrocks version 1.0.0 to 2.13.0 is running, authentication is configured with credentials, and the MONITOR command is accessible, as credentials would be exposed in plaintext in the MONITOR output.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2.14.0
Upgrade Apache Kvrocks to version 2.14.0 or later to resolve the plaintext credential disclosure in the MONITOR command.
2.14.0
- 1. Review the Apache Kvrocks 2.14.0 release notes for any breaking changes or migration requirements.
- 2. Create a backup of your current Kvrocks data and configuration files.
- 3. Stop the running Kvrocks service.
- 4. Upgrade Kvrocks to version 2.14.0 using your package manager or by compiling from source.
- 5. Verify the configuration files are compatible with version 2.14.0.
- 6. Start the Kvrocks service.
- 7. Test that the MONITOR command no longer exposes plaintext credentials.
- 8. Monitor system logs for any errors following the upgrade.
