CVE-1999-0408 describes a critical vulnerability in Cobalt RaQ microservers where files generated during interactive shell sessions, such as .bash_history, are world-readable and accessible via the web server. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to remotely access sensitive information, modify system configurations, and potentially execute arbitrary code, leading to a complete compromise of the system. Despite its age and high severity (CVSS 10.0), there is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code in common frameworks like Metasploit or ExploitDB, nor significant community discussion or media coverage.
