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.

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.

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.

An issue in usememos through v0.30.0 allows a remote authenticated attacker to perform Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the Webhook validation mechanism in internal/webhook/validate.go, by setting a webhook target to an internal address.

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

A weakness has been identified in usememos memos up to 0.22.1. This affects the function memos_access_token of the file src/App.tsx of the component UpdateInstanceSetting. This manipulation of the argument additionalStyle/additionalScript causes improper authorization. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

A lack of file name validation or verification in the Attachment service of usememos memos v0.25.2 allows attackers to execute a path traversal.

Incorrect access control in usememos memos v0.25.2 allows attackers with low-level privileges to arbitrarily delete reactions made to other users' Memos.

Incorrect access control in the Identity Provider service of usememos memos v0.25.2 allows attackers with low-level privileges to arbitrarily modify or delete registered identity providers, leading to an account takeover or Denial of Service (DoS).

Incorrect access control in the /api/v1/user endpoint of usememos memos v0.25.2 allows unauthorized attackers to create arbitrary accounts via a crafted request.

Incorrect access control in usememos memos v0.25.2 allows attackers with low-level privileges to arbitrarily modify or delete attachments made by other users.

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.

The Memos application, up to version v0.24.3, allows for the embedding of markdown images with arbitrary URLs. When a user views a memo containing such an image, their browser automatically fetches the image URL without explicit user consent or interaction beyond viewing the memo. This can be exploited by an attacker to disclose the viewing user's IP address, browser User-Agent string, and potentially other request-specific information to the attacker-controlled server, leading to information disclosure and user tracking.
