It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-15524 exists.\n\nAffected product: alioshr memory-bank-mcp. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15524/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15524/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-15524","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-15524/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-15524","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xj39-q498-f3c8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MCP memory bank library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A path traversal vulnerability in the memory-bank-mcp library allows local attackers to read or modify arbitrary files via the projectName argument.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulDB","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A security vulnerability has been detected in alioshr memory-bank-mcp up to 0.2.1/3.1.
