Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The Appwrite CLI, before version 3.0.0, stores user credentials in a ~/.appwrite/prefs.json file after the login command, with UNIX permissions set to 0644. Any local user on the system can read those credentials, so a local account is enough to access them. Upgrade to version 3.0.0 or later.
