Description
An issue in usememos v0.27.1 allows a remote attacker to achieve account takeover via the ssoCredentials branch of the SignIn handler in server/router/api/v1/auth_service.go, because SSO identity is matched only on an attacker-controllable identifier without binding to the IdP's stable subject claim.

Impact

The flaw in UseMemos version 0.27.1 resides in the SignIn handler for SSO authentication. The code matches the identifier supplied by an external IdP against a local database record but does not verify that the IdP’s stable subject claim is bound to the identifier. An attacker who can control the identifier value can therefore complete the SSO flow as any existing user, gaining full access to that user’s account and all associated data. The vulnerability is a classic authentication bypass (CWE‑287).

Affected Systems

UseMemos 0.27.1 is the only version listed as affected. No other versions or products are mentioned in the report. The vulnerability is specific to the SSO authentication branch of the SignIn endpoint.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw is reachable over the network through the public SignIn API, allowing a remote attacker to exercise the vulnerability without local system access. The CVSS score of 9.8 marks it as critical, while the EPSS score of less than 1 percent indicates the current probability of exploitation is low. It is not included in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Nonetheless, any successful exploitation would result in full account takeover and potential data compromise across the entire system.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Enforce validation of the IdP's stable subject claim so that only identities bound to a trusted claim can sign in.
  • Restrict SSO traffic to known trusted IP ranges or authorized IdP providers until the issue is resolved.
  • Temporarily disable SSO for new users or devices that cannot be verified until a secure configuration change is applied.
