Summary
The openmemory/api component in mem0 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.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes unauthorized access to sensitive user data and the possibility of a complete denial-of-service attack, leading to privacy breaches and system unavailability.
Recommendation
Immediately add authentication middleware to all API routers in the openmemory/api component and verify that no endpoint is accessible without authorization. Also implement restrictions for parameters such as global_pause.
Other vulnerabilities in mem0
See all- CVE-2026-31240High
The mem0 1.0.0 server lacks authentication and authorization controls for its memory management API endpoints. Critical functions such as updating memory records are exposed without any verification of the requester's identity or permissions.
- CVE-2026-59706Critical
The vulnerability in mem0 exposes unauthenticated config API endpoints that disclose LLM API keys in plaintext and allow server-side request forgery (SSRF) via the attacker-controlled ollama_base_url parameter. Unauthenticated attackers can retrieve stored secrets like OpenAI API keys via GET /api/v1/config/ or trigger SSRF attacks by setting ollama_base_url to internal addresses such as cloud IMDS via PUT /api/v1/config/mem0/llm endpoint.
- CVE-2026-31242Critical
The mem0 v1.0.0 server lacks authentication and authorization controls for its memory reset functionality accessible via the DELETE /memories endpoint. An unauthenticated attacker can send a DELETE request that triggers a reset operation, leading to the execution of a DROP TABLE SQL statement.
- CVE-2026-49948High
Mem0 versions up to 0.2.8 have a missing authorization vulnerability in the POST /configure endpoint. Any authenticated user with an API key can change global LLM and embedder configuration, redirecting all traffic to an attacker-controlled server. The malicious configuration persists in PostgreSQL and survives server restarts.
