Summary
Memos is a privacy-first, lightweight note-taking service that uses Access Tokens to authenticate application access. When a user changes their password, the existing list of Access Tokens stay valid instead of expiring. If a user finds that their account has been compromised, they can update their password. In versions up to and including 0.18.1, though, the bad actor will still have access to their account because the bad actor's Access Token stays on the list as a valid token. The user will have to manually delete the bad actor's Access Token to secure their account. The list of Access Tokens has a generic Description which makes it hard to pinpoint a bad actor in a list of Access Tokens. A known patched version of Memos isn't available. To improve Memos security, all Access Tokens will need to be revoked when a user changes their password. This removes the session for all the user's devices and prompts the user to log in again. One can treat the old Access Tokens as "invalid" because those Access Tokens were created with the older password.
Risk Assessment
After a user changes their password, an attacker with a valid access token can still access the account, leading to continued unauthorized access and breach of note confidentiality.
Recommendation
Manually delete all access tokens after changing the password, consider implementing a fix that revokes tokens on password change, and monitor token activity for unauthorized use.
Other vulnerabilities in Memos
See all- CVE-2026-75110Critical
MemOS is a memory operating system for LLMs and AI agents. In deployments where authentication is enabled (AUTH_ENABLED=true) but the undocumented, defaultless INTERNAL_SERVICE_SECRET environment variable is unset, the is_internal_request() check in src/memos/api/middleware/auth.py fails open: os.getenv("INTERNAL_SERVICE_SECRET") returns None and a request omitting the X-Internal-Service header also yields None, so the comparison None == None evaluates true. The request is then treated as a trusted internal principal and granted scopes: ["all"]. As a result, an unauthenticated remote attacker can reach the admin API-key management endpoints to mint API keys for any user, enumerate keys, revoke keys, and generate a master key for persistent privileged access, as well as all data endpoints.
- CVE-2026-84203High
Memos versions 0.26.0 through 0.30.0 fail to revoke refresh tokens when a user changes their password, allowing attackers to maintain account access. An attacker with a stolen refresh token can call the RefreshToken RPC to obtain new access tokens and rotate the refresh token indefinitely, bypassing the password change security measure.
- CVE-2026-82476Medium
Memos through version 0.30.0 omits the 100.64.0.0/10 carrier-grade NAT address range from SSRF protection in its link-metadata fetcher, allowing unauthenticated attackers to bypass IP validation. Attackers can make the server request internal hosts in that range including cloud metadata services and read page titles and descriptions back.
- CVE-2026-71272High
The safeDialContext function in Memos' webhook dispatch resolves the target hostname via net.DefaultResolver.LookupHost and validates the resulting IPs against reserved ranges, but then dials net.JoinHostPort(host, port) using the original hostname rather than the already-validated IP address.
- CVE-2026-71271High
Memos' webhook URL validation function isReservedIP checks a candidate IP against a reservedCIDRs list that omits 0.0.0.0/8 and never calls ip.IsUnspecified, unlike the correctly implemented sibling function isInternalIP.
- CVE-2026-30586Medium
Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in usememos Memos v.0.26.0 allows a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information via the SANITIZE_SCHEMA, Memo Rendering Component, and Public/Private Memo View pages.
