NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mosquitto package and not the mosquitto package as distributed by Ubuntu.

In Mosquitto through 1.4.12, mosquitto.db (aka the persistence file) is world readable, which allows local users to obtain sensitive MQTT topic information.
