Critical CVSS 9.8

CVE-2026-75110

NVD analysis in progress

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.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doPatch without waiting for the next scheduled cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
