What is CVE-2026-31241?

CVE-2026-31241 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in n/a, published on 12 May 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

The mem0 1.0.0 server lacks authentication and authorization controls for its memory deletion API endpoint (DELETE /memories). The endpoint allows unauthenticated users to delete memory records by specifying arbitrary user identifiers (e.g., user_id, run_id, agent_id) in the request query parameters. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending unauthenticated DELETE requests to erase memory data for any user, leading to unauthorized data loss and denial of service.

Weakness: CWE-862, CWE-306
