CVE intelligence and bounded remediation
CVE-2026-31245 — The mem0 1.0.0 server lacks authentication and authorization controls for its memory creation API endpoint (POST /memories)
The mem0 1.0.0 server lacks authentication and authorization controls for its memory creation API endpoint (POST /memories). The endpoint allows unauthenticated users to submit arbitrary memory records without verifying their identity or permissions. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending unauthenticated POST requests to create malicious or spoofed memory entries in the database, leading to unauthorized data injection and potential data pollution.

Matched remediation archetype
Authentication bypass and missing authentication
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Map every affected endpoint and protocol path, including alternate ports, legacy routes, recovery flows, service accounts, and machine-to-machine access.
- Confirm which deployments enable the affected authentication mode and whether the interface is reachable from untrusted networks.
- Review session, token, credential, and proxy trust configuration without attempting account takeover.
Remediate safely
- Apply the supported fix and centralize fail-closed authentication before protected request handling.
- Remove default or embedded credentials, rotate affected secrets and sessions, and bind authentication decisions to the intended audience and channel.
- Add negative tests for alternate routes, malformed or absent credentials, recovery flows, and proxy-derived identity.
