Description
mem0's openmemory/api component contains an unauthenticated access vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read, write, and delete arbitrary user memories by accessing API routers registered without authentication middleware. Attackers can supply arbitrary user_id parameters or directly access memory retrieval endpoints to expose private memory content, or invoke pause endpoints with global_pause=true to cause denial-of-service across all users.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated access flaw in mem0’s OpenMemory API. Attackers can read, write, and delete any user memory by calling API routers that were registered without user identifiers or using the dedicated memory retrieval endpoints, an attacker can exfiltrate private data. The same flaw also allows invocation of pause endpoints with a global_pauseof‑service for all users. Consequently the vulnerability compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user data.

Affected Systems

The affected component is mem0’s OpenMemory API (mem0:mem0). No specific version information is provided, but the flaw exists in the current open‑source implementation as seen in the repository commit linked in the references. Any deployment that exposes the default API routes without authentication is susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS critical severity. The EPSS score is not reported, so the exploitation likelihood is unknown, yet the absence of authentication means an attacker can exploit the flaw from any network location that can reach the API. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers would need only to exposed endpoints; no special privileges or advanced techniques are required.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest mem0 release that includes the fix referenced in the GitHub commit a3154d59e52386d4e1189c1f5f44819868f76514.
  • Configure the OpenMemory API to enforce authentication middleware on all memory endpoints, preventing unauthenticated access.
  • If an immediate upgrade is not possible, restrict network access to the OpenMemory API by employing firewall rules or network segmentation to block unauthenticated traffic to the vulnerable endpoints.
