Vulnerability details
The mem0 1.0.0 server lacks authentication and authorization controls for its memory deletion API endpoint (DELETE /memories/{memory_id}). The endpoint allows unauthenticated users to delete arbitrary memory records without verifying their identity or permissions. A remote attacker can exploit this by…
more
sending unauthenticated DELETE requests to remove any memory entry from the database, leading to unauthorized data loss and potential denial of service.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Requiring identification and rationale for actions allowed without authentication ensures critical functions are not left unprotected by forcing review of authentication requirements.
Authorizing mobile device connections to organizational systems ensures authentication is performed for this critical access function.
Always invoking the reference monitor prevents missing authorization checks for protected resources.
Auditing sessions makes it possible to detect access to critical functions without required authentication.
The assessment process confirms authentication is present and effective for critical functions, preventing exploitation from missing authentication.
Certification assesses that critical functions have required authentication controls in place.
Requiring authorization servers ensures authorization is performed for protected functions.
Tailoring determines which functions require authentication and selects the appropriate baseline or compensating authentication controls.
