9.8 CRITICAL

Remote unauthenticated single request with no interaction (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); full admin over keys and data endpoints yields C:H/I:H, and key revocation/data control gives A:H, scope unchanged.

DescriptionCVE.org

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.

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in MemOS (MemTensor), a memory operating system for LLMs and AI agents, lets an unauthenticated remote attacker impersonate a trusted internal principal with full 'all' scopes. When AUTH_ENABLED=true but the undocumented INTERNAL_SERVICE_SECRET variable is left unset, a null-versus-null comparison in the internal-request check fails open, exposing admin API-key management and all data endpoints. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the target MemOS deployment to have authentication turned on (AUTH_ENABLED=true) while the undocumented INTERNAL_SERVICE_SECRET environment variable is left unset - this is the exact fail-open state, and because the variable is defaultless and undocumented, the unset condition is likely present unless an operator deliberately configured it. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals are strongly aligned toward high priority: the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) describes remote, unauthenticated, no-interaction exploitation yielding full confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss, and the failure mode is a one-line logic bug that any operator can verify against the public source. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker discovers an internet-reachable MemOS instance and sends a normal HTTP request to an admin API-key endpoint without any X-Internal-Service header. Because INTERNAL_SERVICE_SECRET is unset, the middleware treats the request as a trusted internal principal with scopes ['all'], and the attacker calls the key-management API to generate a master key. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch version was identified at time of analysis; the disclosure is tracked as GitHub issue #2259 (https://github.com/MemTensor/MemOS/issues/2259) rather than a tagged release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all MemOS deployments and verify INTERNAL_SERVICE_SECRET environment variable is explicitly set to a strong random value; isolate any instance where AUTH_ENABLED=true and INTERNAL_SERVICE_SECRET is unset or null from external network access. …
